Gambler saddle offers a sleek, flowing appearance and low profile design that has made this design extremely popular for 'round town cruising. Gambler features a comfortable driver's position with a clean pillion seating area providing a flawless profile. Built-up of Comfort Cell® foam that allows a low saddle that retains comfort value. Sculpted seating disperses rider's weight ergonomically and gives you lasting support while still providing good ground reach at stop signs! This is a good choice for riders that often ride solo or have passengers along for short to medium range trips.
All Corbin saddles come standard with genuine leather seating in your choice of textures and colors. We use genuine leather in all of our saddle models now because it provides a perch that will breathe with your body and break in along with the foam shape. All in all, the saddle will conform to your body and provide a personalized fit upon break in. Just be sure to care for your saddle properly with a quality leather conditioner like our Saddle Cream. Your leather saddle will break in gracefully and develop a unique character of its own... just like your leather jacket. The model shown uses all black Mercedes for a very stealthy look.
As with all Corbin saddle designs, we sculpt the rider's area to conform to the shape of the human body. This gives you more square inches of body contact which, in turn, gives better weight distribution. The Corbin saddle eliminates hot spots and increases your riding time... even with such a low profile. Passenger seating area is built mostly to keep a slick look, but the use of our high-density Comfort Cell foam still provides reasonable comfort.
Foam density is an important factor in long range comfort and we always say... "Firm is a good thing". Corbin uses a very unique formula of purpose built materials in the manufacturing process. Combine this with the years of design experience and you have the world's finest motorcycle seat. Comfort Cell® foam combined with our patented molding process deliver unmatched contoured support. Corbin saddles feel firm when you first ride on them, but will break in and adapt to your body and support you in comfort for years to come.

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!

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.

Installation: Corbin's Gambler saddle installs a bit different than your stock seat in order to use a new key-lock system. Bracket installation is a one-time deal, then your new saddle will go on and off with the included keys.
Start by removing your stock seat and belt strap. Remove the stock 5/16 x 1" bolts that’s securing the oil tank. Install the front bracket using the stock bolts.
The seat installs by screwing the supplied latch pin and nylon cap into the rear thread nut of the rear fender. Slide the key way bracket on the seat into the latch pin on the fender and secure the front of the seat by lining the key lock at the front of the seat to the latch pin on the bracket. Push down on the nose of the seat until you hear TWO clicks from the latch.
NOTE: To ease installation until the rubber bumper on the basepan break in, it may be necessary to add a washer under the rear nylon cap. This will make it easier to latch.
