Corbin now proudly offers two styles of saddle for the BMW Slash 5. Our Vintage Gunfighter saddle offers a sly racing look with solo comfort while the Gunfighter & Lady offers seating comfort for two and optional passenger rest. Both saddles are ergonomically developed to provide the maximum area of body contact for best weight distribution and touring comfort. The Corbin backrest adjusts to your passengers posture for a tailored fit. Both saddles are available with a color coordinated welt to add a custom touch. Leather seating is standard on both models.
Note: These saddles fit the short wheelbase model made from `69-`73. The long wheelbase model made in the later half of 1973 accepts our /6 seat. Use the later model one-piece grabrail from the /6 & /7 to install onto your Gunfighter & Lady. This type looks great and are easy to get ahold of, it is BMW part number: 52-53-1-232-966
To install either saddle, loosen both seat hinges (included) and mount the seat onto the frame pins. Then tighten the brackets securely.

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.

#02-SB
Standard Ovalbac® |
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!

#297-SB
Standard Backrest |
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.

|
#02-L
Large Ovalbac® |
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).

#02-T
Tee Ovalbac® |
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.
