Mustang Seats will be joining in the festivities as the custom motorcycle world congregates in Italy for the 2016 Verona Motor Bike Expo (MBE). Set for January 22-24 at the Veronafiere facility, this international trade fair encompasses 880,000 sq./ft. with more than 600 exhibitors. A strong American contingent, led by Mustang, Küryakyn, Crusher, Bahn, Performance Machine and Vance & Hines will be highlighting this year’s show.

“Verona is one of the must-attend European shows for Mustang,” says Director of Global Business Development Marilyn Simmons. “It gives us an opportunity to meet our riders as well as to personally educate, support and build even better relationships with Mustang’s dealers and international distributors.”

Recognizing the importance of the Motor Bike Expo, Simmons is showing off several new seats for the European market, including a pair of Signature Series saddles from legendary builders Dave Perewitz and Fred Kodlin.

Renown European bike builder Fred Kodlin has been recognized as one of the Top 50 customizers in the world by S&S Cycles and was honored as the 2005 Bike Builder of the Year.

“For 2016 we are launching the Kodlin Signature Series seats,” says Simmons. “We can’t wait to show off what we have partnered up with Fred and his son Len to create.”

Mustang’s New England neighbor and original Signature Series seat partner Dave Perewitz will be joined by his daughter Jody in Verona. In addition to a Perewitz-designed seat on display in the Mustang booth, Dave is presenting a custom paint show at the Motor Bike Expo, sponsored in part by Mustang and Küryakyn.

Mustang will be located in Hall #1m, Booth 8D at the Motor Bike Expo in Verona. For more information on the MBE, visit www.motorbikeexpo.it
