This is a back seat that came off a WWII TWN (Triumph werkes Nuremberg) German built motorcycle. this is an extremely rare item just as rare as the bike itself. I bought the 1940 TWN to restore and since it has a load capacity of only 275lbs adding another person on the back would not be a good idea since the German soldat of 1040 was barely 124lbs compared to me at 180. So I am going to sell this piece of history to some lucky collector who may be missing this piece. Look at pics carefully as they show the over all condition of the seat. It seems to be in very good shape with a little surface rust one would expect after some 70 years. It attaches to the bike by using the rear luggage rack and the screws to move the clamps work freely and it was easy to remove so I suspect it would be easy to put back on. I have never seen this particular rear seat ever offered on eBay or any vintage motorcycle site in my life. I had a hard time finding parts for the bike and they are very costly. I even had to settle for a newer motor as a 125cc for a 1940 TWn was just impossible to find anywhere even in Europe and England. So if you want a great piece of history and something to complete your Restoration this is the seat you have been dreaming of.. good luck and I hope whoever buy it will put it to good use. I would post the title to the bike this came off of but do to eBay policy on placing items with swastikas I will not be able to post however this came off a bike assigned to a Dr Kaufman in Juli 6 1940 and the title to the bike this came off of matches the bike serial numbers etc and shows the appropriate Germany army stamps of approval authenticating this piece.
