Congrats, you got yourself a new Buell adventure bike! With the capabilities now at your fingertips, you'll be needing something to support your posterior for the long haul. Corbin's dual saddle with our high density Comfort Cell foam is just the ticket. We've created an ergonomically corrected seating position that gives more square inches of body contact for comfort that will last to the four corners of the world... roughly the reach of your Ulysses!
Our Gunfighter & Lady saddle provides a slightly lower seating position than stock, taking the unladen seat height of 35 inches down to 33 and a half. Although this may sound dramatic, the Buell still has a significant reach to the ground. The Corbin saddle is designed to maximize comfort while riding the bike so you'll find it best to slide forward in the seat for ground reach at stop signs. Notice how the nose of the saddle is sculpted to facilitate this.
Ground reach with our seat tested well for riders with an inseam of approximately 31 inches who found it an improvement over the stock Buell seat's reach. Rumor has it that Buell will be releasing a low version seat, but we have not had one available for comparison at this time. Given the design of the Corbin saddle and close fit of our basepan, we have made this seat model as low as possible for ground reach at stop signs.
Naturally, we've designed our saddle to work with Buell's built in luggage rack/backrest Triple Tail™. Whether you're using it to haul your favorite copilot or just a gear bag, the Corbin seat fits perfect. Also notice how closely the saddle fits to the tank, chassis and tail section of the bike. This kind of fit is available only from Corbin and our patented manufacturing process.
The passenger accommodations on the dual saddle are top notch with sculpted ergonomics to provide long range support. Both the front and rear seating positions are designed to emulate the shape of the human body and create more square inches of body contact. This equates to better weight dispersion and all day riding comfort. Naturally, seating platforms are neutralized to curb sliding in the saddle under braking or acceleration.
On the model shown, we used our Carbon-Fiber style leather in the seating areas with Asphalt vinyl side panels to tie in visually with the Ulysses' chassis. This combination looks dynamic on both the black bike or the orange model. A wide range of leather & vinyl materials are available for a custom look if desired (see our General Info section).
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.

FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN: A purpose built, hybrid material that provides a firm foundation to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin saddle.
