Leave it to Honda to come up with the first Crossover motorcycle! Well, it didn't take the early adopters long to figure out a little comfort injection was needed for the DN-01. For all of its technical prowess and unique bodywork, the good folks at Big Red left a bit to be desired when it comes to the rump rest. Fortunately, we knew just what to do about that!
As usual, we start completely from scratch and create a basepan with our exclusive Fibertech base material that allows a perfect fit to every arc and contour of the DN-01 bodywork while being rigid enough to support the carefully designed foam shape. Fibertech also provides the structural integrity needed for our internal backrest support system.
Then we developed a concave seating surface that conforms to the shape of your body and eliminates pressure points. This spreads body weight over a greater area giving more square inches of body contact and support. Additionally, both positions are neutralized to curb sliding which reduces rider fatigue. As you can tell, this ergonomically designed shape provides a very nice visual effect that flows with the bike's sleek lines.
Corbin backrests (optional) are designed to install easily and lock in place with a single bolt. Built in angle adjustment allows our backrests to be tailored to your riding posture quickly and easily. Special hardware in the front position allows an extra adjustment to position the backrest fore-aft and provides spring loaded fold down functionality. Use a single backrest to transfer front to rear as needed, or order two backrests for full time use. Choose from a variety of backrest styles to suit your taste (we recommend Ovalback #02-SB as shown above). The design of this system actually has the rear seat providing backrest support for BOTH seating positions.
Naturally, Corbin backrests are tailored to match your new Corbin saddle and provide an integrated look. Models like the #02-SB provide contoured support and maximum amount of body support. These models also offer finishing plate options to further customize the look of your bike. Backrests come standard with a leather look ABS finishing plate that can be ordered custom in a variety of styles... even chrome or painted gloss black for a little extra.
For an added bit of luxury, we've designed the front and rear saddles with the option of electric heat! Simple to install with all components built into the saddles. You just have to install a simple wiring pigtail on your bike and enjoy the warmth. A great feature to have when you're taking off early in the morning to beat the traffic! Convenient switches are located on the left side of the saddle. Once on, the saddle will warm up and maintain temperature automatically though an integrated controller. Both front and rear seats are available heated (or non-heated) and have separate switches to control them.
Saddles use our exclusive high-density Comfort Cell foam that allows us to build a supportive saddle without a bulky shape. Corbin's Wizards are masters at combining form and function into a saddle that makes you as happy to look at as it does to ride on. On top, we include genuine leather seating in your choice of colors and styles. Shown here we use our standard natural grain black leather in the seating with Asphalt vinyl sides and Carbonium nose band. These choices provide a nice subtle bit of detail to the bike that coordinates with the bike.
Simple installation with all required brackets and hardware included. If you opt for heated seating, you need only integrate the supplied wiring pigtail with your fusebox and you'll be ready to roll. Complete instructions included. Please note, Corbin's front and rear seats will NOT integrate with stock front and rear seats.
Want to add some locking storage? Corbin's glovebox is an excellent solution for all your quick-access stuff. Simply replace the finishing plate on the Ovalbac model backrest and you've just added four liters of locking storage capacity. It's plenty for a couple bottles of water, cell phone, spare gloves, maps and other incidentals. Constructed of durable ABS plastic and available plain black or prepainted (at additional cost). Check out the optional Glovebox via the Accessories tab.
