This mesh was powder coated in a satin black to match the Harley-Davidson aesthetic.

The Harley-Davidson Museum is located on the banks of the Menomonee River and is spread out over 20 acres, featuring much that will appeal to both motorcycle enthusiasts and history lovers. With over 450 motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts, this museum truly details the rich Harley-Davidson history. Visitors can look through the development of these legendary machines from the very first models all the way to the latest innovations. It also has some interactive displays that allow guests to investigate the mechanics and culture of motorcycling. With its rich collection and engaging presentations, the Harley-Davidson Museum offers a unique and immersive experience that reviews the legacy left by this legendary brand.

The Harley-Davidson Museum chose the Banker Wire SJD-3 woven wire mesh - secured with the Banker Wire customized angle iron frame called the "Heritage" frame. This architectural wire mesh gate serves as the entrance to over 100 years of motorcycle history. Powder coated a satin black, large scale SJD-3 wire mesh blends into its surroundings. The Heritage frame provides a strong attachment that can be incorporated to any design.

The Heritage frame uses the Banker Wire innovative "Center Spine" construction that is laser cut to accept each wire mesh tail. The spine is then covered by two opposing tried and true angle iron pieces to create a solid 3-ply perimeter.

Wire mesh, used at the Harley-Davidson Museum, harmonizes very well with the brand image of being rugged and industrial. It improves security and serves structurally, but it also beautifies the view by matching the rough mechanical sense of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. This very design move testifies to a brand committed to authenticity and craftspeople, providing a setting that reflects the spirit of freedom and adventure that inspires Harley-Davidson. The interplay of metal textures and open spaces within the mesh design brings dynamism to the architecture of the museum and gives it a worthy tribute to the icon motorbike brand.
