Rumble seat converts instantly from a slick looking solo seat to a generous two-up platform with integrated backrest. No worries, no fuss & no tools required!
Convenient and easy to use, this seat design features an all-new hinge mechanism that secures the fold down backrest in either position effortlessly. Just fold it up or down and our new spring indexed hinge holds it in position and you're ready to roll. Naturally, the saddle looks great in either position.
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.
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. We have added some new features to this Rumble seat. The newly designed back plate mimics the looks of the leather but still provides the unique style of a back plate. The new stitch 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.
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.
For simple installation, we've designed this model to work with our new key lock system. Simply install the included stainless steel latch pin into the seat bolt location on your fender. The seat installs with a tongue in the front and a key latch in the rear for simple on and off. If you choose the heated option, we also include the pigtail to wire the saddle directly into your stock fuse box. The heater unit and controller are pre installed in the saddle.
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
PATENTED RUMBLE SEAT: The most convenient saddle available! Converts instantly from Solo to Dual with no tools required, just a simple flip of the wrist. Another original Corbin idea, this seat design is so unique it carries two United States Patents: #4,953,911 & #6,971,714. Click the button for additional 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.

ELECTRIC HEAT: As an option we can include electric heat in this saddle! This option provides a true bit of luxury for when the temperature starts to drop. 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...
