Dual Tour for 1997 - 2005 Harley Davidson Roadkings
This re-engineered Dual Touring Saddle provides you and a passenger with sculpted seating and long-range comfort. Our generously contoured platforms provide better weight distribution to eliminate hot spots and give long range support. Our STANDARD Dual Touring Saddle is designed to fit the lowest section of the Roadking chassis and put you in the Sweet spot, but for most people requires a change to handlebars with more pull-back (like the Flanders "Corbin Bend"). This CLOSE version shown here is designed closer to the bars so a handlebar change isn't required, but still provides a more correct seating posture on the bike for better balance and control.
Corbin's Dual Tour accepts two removable rider's backrests! Each backrest is fully adjustable for a tailored fit to rider posture. Dual Touring Saddle will work with factory luggage rack on the rear if you prefer and we even offer a coordinated pad to complete the look. In the front we have engineered the backrest to fold down to make it easier to mount the bike. This special hardware (internal to the saddle) also allows the backrest position fore and aft to be adjusted to your profile. Naturally, you can use a single backrest that transfers front to back as needed or use two backrests for full time use.
For the ultimate in luxury, we have built electric seat heaters into our Dual Touring saddle design. 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 Roadking wiring.
This saddle also accepts our chrome "V-rail" for an added nostalgic touch, but not if you are using a luggage rack or sissy bar. Show quality chrome plating provides a nice touch of class. V-rail mounts directly to the Corbin saddle for simple installation that does not require drilling or brackets. To simplify mounting the saddle on your bike and provide a nice clean look, we also offer a chromed, billet thumbscrew. Available in either 1/4" x 20 or 1/4" x 28 thread sizes, our thumbscrew gives tool-free installation of your new saddle.
We use genuine leather in all of our seat models to provide a luxurious ride that breathes with your body. A wide range of leather options is available for a custom look to suit your taste. Take good care of your leather seat with a quality conditioner like Corbin's Saddle Cream. You seat will look nice for years and show character just like your leather jacket.
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. Provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint. Click on the button at left to learn more...
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! Click the button for additional info...
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...

This saddle does not fit with the model #53391-94 luggage rack available from Harley Davidson for 1998 models and it does not work with the Harley Davidson detachable Leather Tour-pac.
Due to variations in the Harley fuel tank, minor adjustments of your dash may be needed to achieve a perfect fit. This is a simple procedure that involves only two bolts.
There are two models of removable sissy bars available from Harley-Davidson. One is designed for the `94-`96 models and the other for the `97 & up. Both will fit on the late model (`97 & up) Roadkings, but our Dual Touring saddle #HD-RK-DT-CE & #HD-RK-DT-CE-DASH will only work with the one designed FOR that bike. Please be sure your dealer is supplying the correct sissy bar for your bike!
The 2003 & up Roadking has the handlebars rotated further forward than previous years which makes the seat feel too far back. We recommend rotating the bars towards the driver a few degrees for a more comfortable feel.
Show your colors! We usually have a new tee shirt design available every year. For 2007, we are offering the Corbin tee with the official Hollister Rally logo on the Front and our pinstripe design on the back. Available in a variety of styles for men and women! *Show Me*
The authorized biography of Mike Corbin, written by our friend William Carrington. Following the triumphs and trials of a lifetime developing new ideas from motorcycle seats to electric cars. An all American story! *Excerpts*
Corbin's Chrome V-Rail bolts up easily to your Dual Tour saddle with no additional brackets. Triple-plate chromed for a show quality finish, the V-Rail provides a nice nostalgic look for your bike. Does not work with Sissy Bars installed. *More Info*
With the Corbin EZ-Fill adding oil to your primary is simple. Remove the knurled plug from the inspection cover and pour. It looks great and works just as well (a hallmark of Corbin design). Available for: FX, FL Shovelheads, FLST Softails, FXDWG Dyna Wide-Glide, FXR Models, Roadking, Road-Glide and FLH / FLT models. *More Info*
Makes seat installation and removal a tool-free snap! Machined billet thumbscrew is polished and chromed for a very clean look. Available in the following sizes:

Metric: m5 x .8, m6 x 1.0 or m8 x 1.25
*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*
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*
