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.
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.

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.

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*
