Classic Solo & Pillions for Harley Davidson Softails
Classic Solo provides an excellent riding position combined with a nostalgic look. Wide, dished seating gives you a greater area of body contact for superior weight dispersion. Naturally the Classic Solo is built with our high-density Comfort Cell® foam for a firm supportive ride that will last all day. If you have a hard time handling the size of your Softail, then perhaps the Close Solo is the right choice for you. Available for the 2000 and up models, this special version is designed with a lower seat height and a seating position closer to the bars. Additionally the nose is made narrower to help your ground reach.
All Classic Solo models work with our removable rider's backrest for added back support. Corbin backrests are fully adjustable for a tailored fit to your posture and are simple to install with just a single lock screw under the saddle. Once installed angle adjustment is simple and does not require removal of the backrest. Choose any of the backrest models we offer to suit your taste... For complete information and ordering, just follow the Backrest Selection link at left.
Classic Solo works with two different models of passenger pillion pads. Corbin pillions bolt up easily with your Classic Solo to add passenger capability to your bike and unique looks. We have two models to choose from depending on the look and degree of comfort you want to supply your passenger. Our Standard Pillion offers a generously sculpted seating position built thick for mid-range comfort. For a sleeker look, our 50's style pad is a low profile version built with high-density foam that offers good short range comfort. Both models are made to coordinate with your solo saddle with a matching cover pattern. Both models work with your factory sissy bar and we even offer coordinating sissy bar pads. For solo riders, we also offer the option of our new Smuggler Trunk to work with your Corbin solo saddle.
As with all Corbin saddles, genuine leather seating is included in your choice of colors and styles. Leather makes a great seating material due to its durability and its ability to breathe with your body. Leather will also break in with the foam shape for a personalized fit. Coordinated vinyl side panels complete the look and keep your saddle shape tight. For a more customized look, chrome studs make a nice option and are included at no additional charge... all you have to do is ask! Just remember that you need to care for your leather saddle properly using a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream. This will help your leather to stay water resistant and develop its own unique character as it ages.
No other motorcycle saddlemaker in the world offers this kind of versatility and quality in their saddle designs. Genuine leather, removable backrests, Comfort Cell® foam and a host of included decorating options make Corbin the best value around for your hard earned dollar! Additionally, our Classic Solo Saddles are simple to install on your stock Softail chassis. They use a nose tab in the front and secure with the side bolts into your chassis. Some late model Softails don't include these bolts and have plastic plugs in their place. If you need bolts, we offer a chrome pair (#ST0-BOLT)... or check with your local Harley dealer.
Comments: Why did I ever leave?
Just wanted to say that I have been happily riding on a Corbin Hollywood Solo seat for 6 years, only to discover I wanted a backrest for long trips. I had a big trip planned, and checked into getting the faux ostrich classic solo seat from Corbin (2 weeks to get it). So, at the urging of many, I bought a Mustang seat (2 days delivery). They promised me I would love it.
What do they say... patience is a virtue. I rode on that seat for 2,000 painful miles, my a** hurting each day after 2 hours. I am happily back on a Corbin Classic Solo, that gives me the support I need with the dense foam.
I question my sanity, why did I ever leave? Ha!

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
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...
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.
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.

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*
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*
All the functionality of an adjustable backrest, combined with the smallest profile possible. This model is often used as a rider's backrest in Gunfighter seat models just like the #02-G shown above. Includes genuine leather seating and color coordinating options just like our saddles *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*
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*
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:
SAE: 1/4" x 20 or 1/4" x 28
Metric: m5 x .8, m6 x 1.0 or m8 x 1.25
*More Info*
Smuggler Trunk
Smuggler trunk bolts up in place of a passenger pillion seat to provide locking storage for small items like cell phones, maps and spare gloves. Very handy and simple to use. Available in primer or prepainted Gloss Black. Click HERE for complete info.
