Smuggler is an integral part of Corbin's modular seating system. We've created a two piece saddle system that allows you to switch from solo to dual easily using the stock Honda key lock. For a clean solo look and the most convenient storage available, our Smuggler trunk is just perfect. Locking onto your bike in place of a passenger seat, Corbin's Smuggler trunk comes prepainted to coordinate with your stock paint (please specify color) and provides a secure area to stow essentials. Up front, the enhanced ergonomics of our front saddle create a perch that provides long range, sport touring comfort.
Smuggler's capacity of 9 liters helps to keep all your essential gear handy. That's more than enough room for keys, maps, spare gloves, cell phone, your PDA, bottled water.... there's even enough room for your digital camera in there (even a reasonably sized SLR!) You'll find the Smuggler so convenient that you'll be getting stuff out of it every time
you stop your bike. Naturally it comes fully finished and prepainted to coordinate with your stock paint color so the looks are spectacular right out of the box.
Naturally we've built the Smuggler to fit perfectly to the lines of the bike to create an integrated look. Slick details like the ribs at the back pick up the details of the bike and lend a bit more flair. Our patented molding process and exclusive materials create a part with very minimal variation from piece to piece so we can design a precision fit to the bodywork. The Corbin front saddle mounts using included brackets. The Smuggler trunk and/or rear seat mount using the stock Honda key lock with brackets included and preinstalled.
Smuggler door hinges forward and away from the trunk to give the best access possible through the opening. Inside the trunk it is fully lined to help protect your cargo. As you can see, we stuffed quite a bit in the trunk and still have plenty of room left (it's only about one-half full). Around the rim it's fully weather stripped to keep your stuff dry in case you get caught in the rain. Naturally, the trunk locks so your gear is secure.
Front saddle uses 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 seat that makes you as happy to look at as it does to ride on. Ergonomically developed to provide a large area of body contact and long range support. Notice how we also sculpt the nose of the saddle to allow for good ground reach at stop signs.
Corbin's bucket shape is designed to emulate the curve of your body. This gives excellent support. Neutralized seating helps to curb sliding in the saddle which greatly reduces rider fatigue. We include your choice of color options for looks 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. Shown here we've used black leather seating with black vinyl sides and our unique stitch pattern.
For those chilly morning rides, the Corbin front seat has the option of electric heating. Our seat wires easily into your fusebox and maintains the proper temperature automatically through an integrated controller. Simply flip the conveniently located switch along the left side of the saddle and enjoy the warmth. 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 saddle (if used) have separate switches that run through a dual pigtail.
Pictures just don't do it justice. When you see in person how well the trunk is integrated to the bodywork, you'll be amazed. Notice how closely the Corbin designers were able to make the Smuggler fit to the complex shaping of the tail section. The graceful, aerodynamic looks have been kept true for the best possible visual appeal. Smuggler is constructed of our durable Fibertech material for a fine finish and long term durability.
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. Enjoy the ride!
