Part of an all new modular seat system! We've converted the single piece stock seat into a two-piece system that allows you to mix and match components for your current riding needs. On this page you'll find our front saddle combined with an enhanced passenger seat that can easily be removed and replaced with a Corbin Smuggler trunk. Our unique mounting system allows all components to work with your stock seat key lock system for hassle free conversion from solo to dual. Naturally both the front and rear seats have been ergonomically developed for better weight dispersion and long range comfort.
Our saddles offer you a more sculpted seating platform that conforms to your body and gives more square inches of body contact. Of course we engineered in a removable passenger backrest for added security. Corbin's passenger backrest adjusts to provide a tailored fit to your copilot's posture. Once installed, the backrest is easily adjusted with a single set screw accessed from the rear. Mounts into hardware concealed inside the saddle for a perfectly clean look. Notice how the Corbin Ovalbac backrest is shaped to fit the contour of your back to maximize comfort and support value. The oval shaping of this model also helps to keep your body cool by not trapping heat.
Our exclusive high-density Comfort Cell foam allows us to build a highly supportive saddle without putting a bulky shape on your bike so it always looks good. The Corbin Wizard's are masters at combining form and function into a saddle that looks as nice as it rides. Our unique Fibertech basepan molds to every contour of the bodywork for a precision fit but rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint job. Installation is simple with included bracket and our unique lock system.
Notice how the bucket shaping is designed to emulate the shape of your body. This gives excellent support for longer range. Our neutralized seating helps to curb sliding in the saddle which greatly reduces rider fatigue. Naturally we include your choice of color options for a look that can range from outrageous to stealthy. We've created a cover design and stitch pattern that coordinates with the KS perfectly and adds to the visual appeal. Shown here we've used Carbon-Fiber leather seating panels with Asphalt vinyl side panels, but the whole range of leather and vinyl options are included at no additional charge.
There's nothing quite like heated seating for those chilly morning rides. For an added bit of luxury, our new KS saddles have this option. We incorporate a heater unit under the leather seating and a switch on the left side of the saddle (so you can turn it on without removing your hand from the throttle). Just flip the switch and the seat will warm up and maintain temperature automatically. Comes completely preinstalled in the saddle and you need only integrate the included pigtail to your fuse box. Because of the two piece design, front and back saddles have separate switches that run through a dual pigtail.
Need more options? If you're looking for something a bit flashier for that Ovalbac backrest, you have a choice of finishing plates. The standard plate is a leather look ABS model, but included is your choice of Carbon-Fiber look (shown) or primer (for custom painting). For just a little extra, we can supply a chromed steel backing plate or one prepainted gloss black. Please note, if you will be using a trunk system on your bike, the Corbin backrest will not be needed.
Need a little bit more convenient storage but don't want to install a trunk? Take a look at this great glovebox option we now have for the Ovalbac backrests. This little beauty bolts on in place of the finishing plate and gives the perfect amount of locking storage for little essentials. We can easily pack in a couple bottles of water, a PDA, cell phone, spare gloves, maps and sunglasses with room to spare. You'll find this the most convenient and easy to use storage on your bike... click here for complete glovebox info.

Saddles install with a proprietary bracket installed onto the bike's subframe. Once the bracket is installed, both saddles mount very easily and
use your existing key lock.
Front saddle slips into place with a premounted bracket that integrates with the BMW aluminum "spools". Rear of the saddle is held in place with
this lock mechanism that latches with a stainless steel pin on the Corbin bracket.
Rear saddle is held in place with two chrome tongues under the Corbin bracket and preinstalled bracket that integrates with your BMW key lock. Simple!
NOTE: On this seat model, you will need to secure the backrest in place with the safety screw BEFORE the rear saddle is installed on the motorcycle.

Our most popular backrest model is the perfect blend of form and function. The size looks visually appropriate on most every seat yet is large enough to provide good, sculpted support. Works well in either the rider's or passenger's position. The standard Ovalbac is available with a range of finishing plate options to dress up the rear including chrome! *More Info*
The standard Corbin backrest for years! This model is the same size and shape as the Standard Ovalbac above, but without the hole in the middle. Provides plenty of sculpted back support without looking too big on the bike. Works in both the rider or passenger seating area on virtually all Corbin saddle models. This model also has the option of chrome studs if desired. *More Info*
Like the Standard Ovalbac show above, but with a larger contact area for added support. Works great as a passenger backrest in Dual Touring models. Because of the added width, we do not recommend this model in the front position while carrying a passenger... it may interfere with their legs. Sculpted to provide wide ergonomic support. Offers a variety of finishing plate options to customize the rear (sorry, no chrome). *More Info*
This model is specially designed to be used in the large Dual Touring seats (like HD Baggers) or in Master's Type saddles as found on the Goldwings. Sculpted for extended support both vertically and horizontally, but cut away at the bottom to provide clearance for passenger's legs. A variety of finishing plate options are available to customize the rear. *More Info*
If you want the functionality of a backrest, but also want the smallest appearance possible, this is the backrest model for you. This one is most often used as a rider's backrest in Gunfighter seat models (thus the name). Includes a variety of finishing plate options for the rear. *More Info*
A convenient storage solution that looks great too. Corbin's Glove Box bolts up easily to your #02-S(B) model backrest in place of the rear finishing plate to provide four liters of locking storage. Available in primer or pre-painted. Some color matches are available depending on bike make and model. Comes fully lined too! *More Info*
Take good care of your new seat and the seat will take good care of you. Designed to help your leather saddle remain weather resistant and keeps the hide supple. This will allow the leather to break in and age gracefully. Great for boots, gloves & jackets too. Simple rub-in, buff out application. *More Info*
Smuggler Trunk
