Dual Touring Saddle for 2008 H-D Roadking (FLHR, FLHRC)
Corbin's Dual Touring Saddle provides you and a passenger with sculpted seating and long range comfort with the luxurious option of electric seating heaters. Our generously contoured platforms provide better weight distribution to eliminate pressure points and give excellent support. The rider's area is built up providing generous back support for the long road ahead. This saddle is built to fit perfect and add to the nostalgic appeal of the bike.
This model is designed specifically to fit the larger fuel tank and dash panels of the 2008 series Roadking. Because of the precise fit offered by the Corbin saddle, this seat is not interchangeable with the other HD Bagger seats (Street Glide, Electra Glide & Road Glide). Looking at the photos above, you'll see this design offers a vast improvement in how the seat meets the tank. This sculpted nose section also offers an easier reach to the pavement.
Our Dual Touring saddle accepts two removable rider's backrests (optional) for maximum back support. Each backrest is fully adjustable for a tailored fit to rider posture. You can use a single backrest and transfer it front to rear as needed or you can order two backrests for full time use in your saddle. We offer several styles of backrest to suit your taste, but we recommend the #02-S Ovalbac model because it provides the perfect blend of form and function.
In the front position, we have built in special hardware that allows for the backrest position to be adjusted fore and aft to provide for riders of different stature. This special hardware is also designed to allow the backrest to fold down out of the way to make it easier to mount your bike. Spring loaded hardware pops the backrest back up into position when you're seated. This is a very clean totally internal system!
For the ultimate in luxury, we have the option of built in electric seat heaters. A single switch controls the heat for both the rider and passenger positions. The switch is conveniently located along the left side of the saddle so you can reach it without taking your hand off the throttle. The two position switch allows you to select a heat level depending on conditions. The level of heat is controlled automatically by a thermostat built into the control unit. This setup is very simple to install into your stock Roadking wiring.
We use genuine leather in all of our seat models to provide a luxurious ride that breathes with your body. The new Roadking pattern has a leather stripe down the middle surrounded by natural texture black leather, as shown in the images above. We have a grey snake stripe and a black ostrich stripe to choose from. With our new separated seating platform, we recommend always using this stitch pattern.
Leather seating will break in along with your foam shape to give you a personalized fit and will age gracefully with proper care. Take good care of your leather seat with a quality conditioner like Corbin's Saddle Cream and your seat will look nice for years and show character just like your leather jacket.
Corbin's Dual Touring Saddle also accepts the option of our chrome "V-rail" for an added nostalgic touch. Show quality chrome plating provides a nice touch of class and durability. The V-rail mounts directly to the Corbin saddle for simple installation that does not require drilling or special brackets. Please note the V-rail will not install into your stock seat and will not work with Harley-Davidson luggage racks, sissy bars or tour paks in place.
Our standard Ovalbac backrest also offers the option of removable finishing plates on the rear in a variety of styles. The standard design is a leather look constructed of durable ABS, but we also offer the option of a painted model or Chromed steel for a little extra. To add a bit of storage to your bike, this backrest model also has the option of a Corbin Glovebox. A convenient, lockable location for travel essentials like cell phones, maps, bottled water and spare gloves.
Corbin's Dual Tour has been tested to fit with the following Harley-Davidson Accessories:
Tall Detachable Sissy Bar #529337A (with HD or Corbin pad)

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.

CORBIN BACKREST SYSTEM: The first and most versatile removable backrest system available for motorcycles! Corbin's backrests provide added vertical back support and long range comfort. Supported by internal hardware for a very clean look. Backrests adjust to rider's profile for a tailored fit and install or remove easily as desired. A very popular option!

Simple to install with major components pre-built into the saddle. Just wire in the included pigtail and you're ready to roll. Click the button at left for complete info...

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.

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*
