Widowmaker saddle for 2008 H-D Softail Rocker FXCW & FXCWC
Yeah yeah, we know... "Hey Corbin, the Rocker is supposed to be a solo bike!" Be that as it may, we recieved countless requests to make a good two up seat for this bike... Something capable of more than a parade lap down main street. So for those of you who now need serious two-up capability from your Rocker, we introduce the Corbin Widowmaker saddle.
Built around a complete passenger support structure and integrated sissy bar, Widowmaker provides generous passenger accomodations. With a seating area of 110 square inches and twelve and a half inches of vertical support, this saddle is sure to please. Naturally the rider's area also offers a wide, contoured perch with eight inches of vertical support. Need more? Add the optional Corbin backrest for a full 17 inches of back support.
Both seating platforms have been ergonomically developed to provide contoured support that fits your body. This provides a greater area of body contact and proper weight distribution. Inside, our exclusive Comfort Cell foam provides firm support that remains resilient no matter how long you ride. Nearly twice as firm as your stock seat, the Corbin Widowmaker will provide comfortable support all day.
Works with a variety of optional backrest models for added rider support (#02-SB shown). Corbin backrests install easily into hardware built inside the saddle and lock in place with a single bolt. Two way adjustable to allow the backrest to be tailored to your posture. Set the position fore-aft and adjust the angle for a perfect fit. Special internal hardware also allows the backrest to fold down making it easier to mount the bike.
Built up with steel internal support structure and Corbin's Fibertech base material for structural integrity while still providing simple installation. Corbin Widowmaker saddle mounts with a tongue in the front and two bolts into the chassis on both sides. Due to the increased load bearing required, we include special hardened steel bolts with the Corbin saddle that thread through the saddle in the frame. Installation locations are hidden by integrated skirt.
NOTE: We want to make this perfectly clear... use ONLY the Corbin supplied hardware when installing this saddle on your Rocker. Do not reuse the stock seat mounting bolts for installation.
On the outside, we include genuine leather seating for a perch that breathes with your body. Leather will also conform along with the foam shape to give you a personalized fit as you rack up the mileage. Shown above we used our standard natural grain black leather seating with black faux-ostrich trim (stripe), black "bands" and Asphalt vinyl side panels and skirt. This provides a nice, custom look that doesn't overpower the bike. If you'd prefer a bit more flair, we also offer grey faux snake stripe or plain black for a more subtle approach.
At the back of the Widowmaker seat, we top it off with a two-piece leather grain ABS finishing plate. Molded with a rib design for a nice bit of detail, this plate finishes off the rear of the saddle and bottom where it rolls under the seat near the fender. Weather proof and keeps a clean look.
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!

Corbin Dual Touring saddle does not work with Harley-Davidson saddlebags installed.
Installation: Corbin's Widowmaker saddle mounts easily to your bike very much like the stock solo. Slide the saddle into place nose first securing the mounting tongue and lower seat onto the chassis. Secure with included bolts and washers under the decorative side skirt.
Due to the added stress of a passenger support system, we have included a set of hardened steel bolts to replace the stock hardware used for seat installation. To assure your safety and that of your passenger, use ONLY the included hardware when installing the Corbin saddle.
As your Rocker was likely setup at the factory or dealer for solo riding, you will likely need to adjust your suspension settings to allow for added passenger weight. Please refer to your owner's manual or local dealer for 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*
