Mustang and Perewitz at Springfield MC Show by
Mustang Seats is proud to have been part of the local motorcycle scene for the past 35 years, so being a part of The Springfield Motorcycle Show at the Eastern States Exposition Big "E" Fairgrounds this weekend was an obvious choice. So was inviting Mustang's New England neighbor and bike building legend Dave Perewitz to join us at the show.
"With our neighbors at Indian Motorcycle of Springfield hosting the "Indian Come Home Rally" this past summer and the more recent introduction of the 2015 Indian motorcycle line, it seems like Springfield has become the epicenter of motorcycling once again," says Mustang Marketing Director Marilyn Simmons. In fact, the original Indian factory in Springfield is just 17 miles away from Mustang's historic factory in Three Rivers, Massachusetts. "This sense of history, combined with the monumental efforts to bring the venerated Indian brand back were definitely not lost on us."
But Mustang makes much more than seats for old Indians. From BMW and Harley-Davidson to Triumph and Victory, Mustang makes seats, luggage and premium accessories for most late model motorcycles. They have also being working with Dave Perewitz to create a line of Perewitz Signature Series seats for Harley Baggers. "We haven't forgotten about the Metric Cruiser crowd either," adds Simmons. "Come by our display at the show and pull up a seat!" In addition to talking about seats for your cycle, Mustang staffers will want to tell you all about their historic factory.
Housed in a former weaving facility, the Mustang factory was located right on the river to use hydro power to spin the looms back at the turn of the century. "While we don't use the river for power any more, we can demonstrate what it takes to make a seat," says Simmons. "Schedule a tour to see how our craftspeople take pride in transforming raw materials into the world’s highest quality, most comfortable handcrafted seats." If you can't make it to Springfield for the Motorcycle Show this weekend, here is a teaser:
