    1. either look up the owner, or zoom in on that impression on the seat, as this post was 10 years ago... and I didn't know then, and I sure don't know now. Why are you even asking me? That's an answer you will only get by doing some homework and looking it up

  2. Sorry. I thought you might know. I like the seat and would like to find one to put on my bike.

    1. I've photo graphed tens of thousands of cars, trucks, bikes, etc and simply don't have that level of familiarity with anything but 1969-72 Mopars.... the rest I can pretty mush look at and tell you who made it, maybe event he model, but who supplied the seats, carbs, tires, etc? Oh heck no. Only a BMW expert with 1930s motorcycles would know.
      Have you googled 1930s BMW motorcycle brochures? http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2021/02/have-you-ever-seen-early-1940s-bmw.html
