This model and the #02-S Standard Ovalbac are our most popular backrests by far! If you've been admiring a Corbin on your neighbor's bike, more than likely it is this model or the #02-S. This design looks perfectly at home on a cruiser or a sportbike. Naturally this model will work properly in all Corbin seat models that accept a removable backrest. For seats that take two rests, you can use it in the front as a Rider's rest or in the rear as a Passenger rest. Order two for full time use in both places.
The angle of the backrest easily adjusts to individual's posture for a tailored fit so it's always where you need it. Naturally, we've curved the contact area to make it fit your back ergonomically. This creates a greater area of body contact and maximum comfort. We build it up with the same materials that have made Corbin famous worldwide for motorcycle comfort. Have your backrest covered to match your seat with a range of leather and color options... the 297 can also be ordered with studs to match your seat.
This newest tooling of the Standard Backrest now has an interchangable finishing plate on the rear like our Ovalbac models. Select from a range of styles to suit your taste. Note in the animation above that if you order studs on your backrest, we will use a smaller finishing plate to allow room for them.
Another option available just to the Standard backrest is our new Glove Box. This piece bolts on in place of a finishing plate and offers four liters of storage capacity. Comes complete and ready to install in either gloss black or any color match we currently offer for our other accessories. Click HERE to see more on this cool product!
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY: The design and manufacture of Corbin products is so unique that Mike Corbin himself holds more than 60 United States Patents! From the process itself to new innovations like the Corbin Glovebox, you can count on highly functional and unique products that work. Corbin products are manufactured under one or more of the following US Patents: 6,848,156 B2; 6,729,516 B2; D 489,540S; 6,655,740 B1; 6,422,648 B1; 5,544,937; 5,608,957; 4,953,911; D545,073S & 6,971,714 B1.
COMFORT CELL® FOAM: The heart of the Corbin saddle! Our exclusive, purpose built foam material, called Comfort Cell, was created to provide a firm, resilient ride that doesn't break down. This means it will support you for long days on the road. Over time, Comfort Cell will break in to provide a personalized fit to your posture and even greater comfort! For the complete story just click the button.
ERGONOMIC SHAPING: A major part of the design criteria of the Corbin saddle is the Ergonomic shape. This means the saddle's foam shape is designed to emulate the curves of the human body. This provides more square inches of body contact and helps to eliminate hot spots. This shaping also neutralizes the seating platform to help curb sliding in the saddle which reduces fatigue. In a nutshell... more comfort for a longer ride! Just click the button at left for an animation that shows how it works.
PATENTED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY: Always an innovator, Mike Corbin invented Integrated Molding technology which is now the process by which all Corbin saddles are made. This process allows extremely tight tolerances and creates a chemical bond between the foam and base material. To see what this is all about, just click the button for More Info
GENUINE LEATHER: We use leather in all panels of the seat that contact your body. This provides a luxurious ride that breathes with your body. Leather will also break in along with the foam shape to support the personalized fit. Available in a wide range of textures and styles to suit your taste. For more information about leather seating just click away.
FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN: A purpose built, hybrid material that provides a firm foundation to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin saddle. Provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint. Click on the button at left to learn more...

Simple to install... Our plated steel backrest shaft slides into a special receptacle built into (or bolted into) the Corbin saddle. In most cases, the backrest locks in with a single safety screw under the seat. Backrest angle adjustment is simple and does NOT require removal of the backrest. A single set-screw handles it all.
NOTE: In the images above you will see a model #02-S to show the finishing plate choices and fold down action. That is not this model backrest. The 360 degree view is correct.
Chrome finishing plate is not available on this model, only on the #02-S Standard.
