SW-MOTECH MAKES THE SCENE

The One Motorcycle Show — now on its 12th iteration — draws tens of thousands of enthusiasts and from across the country. Motorcycle builders consistently roll in with custom bikes featuring some of the most innovative displays of engineering and creativity from all segments of the motorcycling world. As newcomers to the Portland moto scene, SW-MOTECH USA decided to go all in.

After opening its U.S. business in Portland in mid 2020, the company decided to partner with event organizers to showcase its premium lines of motorcycle luggage and protective parts. Attendees were given an opportunity to see and experience key SW-MOTECH products and interact with local team members.

In addition to a wide range of model-specific, direct mount luggage kits, SW-MOTECH makes a selection of parts designed to allow customers to weld or fabricate custom carrier solutions to fit SW-MOTECH bags on motorcycles that don’t have kits or to mount them in non-standard configurations or locations. To highlight this, the company’s own Technical Support Manager, Quentin Wilson, teamed up with local riders and fabricators Heath and Heather Knapp to produce a unique entry in the show’s custom build exhibit utilizing the weldable SLC side carrier. “We are excited to unveil the build project bike at The One Motorcycle Show, and think it will be ‘head and shoulders’ above the rest,” says SW-MOTECH USA Vice President, Sarah Schilke. She also used the show to go pro and launch the PRO line.

The new line of PRO tank, tail, and saddle bags for ADV, sport and standard motorcycles was on display,” says Schilke. “We also shared the retro-styled Legend Gear line for cafe racers and cruisers.”

In recognition of the event’s title sponsor, two Indian motorcycles were utilized to showcase SW-MOTECH’s Legend Gear — a Scout and the flat-tracker based FTR 1200. Catalogs and other collateral items were issued to visitors and the first 20 people to come to the display also received an SW-MOTECH sling bag.
