Corbin's Dual Touring Saddle gives you long range touring comfort for your V-Rod. We provided a generous, sculpted seating platform in the front that gives you ergonomically designed support and works with a rider’s backrest. Mike has eliminated the centralized pressure by supporting your weight from the sides with dished seating. In the passenger area we’ve maximized the contact area for better weight dispersion and neutralized the seating to curb sliding. Dual Touring setup also works with a Corbin removable backrest for your passenger’s comfort.
Corbin backrests are available in several styles to suit your taste and are fully adjustable to provide tailored support. We even offer a special "finishing plate" for the rear of our Ovalbac® designs that looks similar to the aluminum sheet metal on the V-Rod. It is slightly warmer in color and just a tad darker than the Harley metal, but it looks very cool and coordinates well. This back plate option is available at no extra charge when ordering your Corbin backrest.
Corbin’s saddle comes in two pieces so it mounts like the stock seat and hinges to provide access to your fuel tank. Our front saddle will even work with your stock rear if you wish, but be advised that nearly all orders for the front seat eventually call to order the rear seat. Don't wait twice as long for the "whole seat". Getting the front and rear seat is highly recommended for riders that carry passengers.
We build up the saddles and backrest with our exclusive Comfort Cell® foam for a firm supportive ride that lasts. Genuine leather seating is inlcuded in your choice of styles. Leather provides a nice breathable perch that will break in with your foam shape for a personalized fit. Color coordinated welts are available if desired. Naturally, you can get your V-Rod saddle made with smooth black leather if you prefer.
Remember, leather has very unique characteristics that help it remain the finest material known for building comfortable saddles. Leather is a treated organic material that will breathe with your body and adapt to your body shape. Leather actually works with your body by stretching, reconforming and enriching comfort. Leather saddles become more attractive with use and show character. You can help your leather saddle by treating and protecting with Corbin Saddle Cream when cleaning your motorcycle. Your Corbin leather saddle will serve you best (like a best friend!) when cared for properly.

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.

Installation: Corbin saddles mount like stock with hardware pre-installed on the saddle. Remember to turn the key and gently latch the front seat as recommended by Harley-Davidson.

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*
