As if to prove the durability and popularity of the original ST 1100, we've received tons of requests for a Smuggler trunk and two piece seat after riders saw the Corbin creation for the 1300 model. In response to this command performance, we're happy to release a new two piece saddle for the ST 1100 (Pan European). Shortly to be followed up with a Smuggler trunk, Corbin's two piece system is modular to allow you to switch from solo bike to dual quickly and easily. Naturally we've also enhanced the ergonomics to create a perch that provides long range comfort and support.
Our saddles offer you a more sculpted seating platform that conforms to your body and gives more square inches of body contact. Of course we engineered in a removable passenger backrest for added security. Corbin's passenger backrest adjusts to provide a tailored fit to your copilot's posture and installs in two height positions. Once installed, the backrest is easily adjusted with a single set screw accessed from the rear. Mounts into hardware concealed inside the saddle for a perfectly clean look. Notice how the Corbin Ovalbac backrest is shaped to fit the contour of your back to maximize comfort and support value. The oval shaping of this model also helps to keep your body cool by not trapping heat.
Our exclusive high-density Comfort Cell foam allows us to build a highly supportive saddle without putting a bulky shape on your bike so it always looks good. The Corbin Wizard's are masters at combining form and function into a saddle that makes you as happy to look at as it does to ride on. Our unique Fibertech basepan molds to every contour of the bodywork for a precision fit but rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint job. Installation is simple with included bracket and our unique key lock system.
Notice how the bucket shaping is designed to emulate the shape of your body. This gives excellent support for longer range. Our neutralized seating helps to curb sliding in the saddle which greatly reduces rider fatigue. Naturally we include your choice of color options for a look that can range from outrageous to stealthy. We've created a cover design and stitch pattern that coordinates with the ST 1100 perfectly and adds to the visual appeal of the bike. Shown here we've used all black leather seating with matching vinyl sides and unique stitch pattern that coordinates well with the bike.
There's nothing quite like heated seating for those chilly morning rides. For an added bit of luxury, our new ST 1100 saddles have this option. We incorporate a heater unit under the leather seating and a switch on the left side of the saddle (so you can turn it on without removing your hand from the throttle). Just flip the switch to the low or high position and the seat will warm up and maintain temperature automatically. Comes completely preinstalled in the saddle and you need only integrate the included pigtail to your fuse box. Because of the two piece design, front and back saddles have separate switches that run through a dual pigtail.
Need more options? If you're looking for something a bit flashier for that Ovalbac backrest, you have a choice of finishing plates. The standard plate is a leather look ABS model, but included is your choice of Carbon-Fiber look, aluminum look or primer (for custom paint applications). For just a little extra, we can supply a chromed steel backing plate or one prepainted gloss black as shown here.
Need a little bit more convenient storage but don't want to install the Hondaline trunk? Take a look at this great glovebox option we now have for the Ovalbac backrests. This little beauty bolts on in place of the finishing plate and gives the perfect amount of locking storage for little essentials. We can easily pack in a couple bottles of water, a PDA, cell phone, spare gloves, maps and sunglasses with room to spare. You'll find this the most convenient and easy to use storage on your bike. Just check out the Accessories section for additional info.
Inside the saddle we use our exclusive Comfort Cell foam to provide a firm, resilient ride that gives you long lasting support. 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 our manufacturing process. Combine this with over three and a half decades of design experience and you have what is commonly considered the World's Finest Motorcycle Seat. Comfort CellŪ 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.

Saddles install with a proprietary bracket installed into stock locations on your bike. Once the bracket is installed, both saddles install very easily and use your existing key lock.
Front saddle slips into place with a tongue in the front. Rear of the saddle is held in place with this lock that integrates with a stainless stell latch pin on the Corbin bracket.
(Shown with front seat removed) Rear saddle is held in place with two chrome tongues under the Corbin bracket and preinstalled latch that integrates with your Honda key lock.
On this seat model, you will need to secure the backrest in place with the safety screw BEFORE the rear saddle is installed on the motorcycle.

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*
