Our classic Gunfighter saddle is a time tested design that has been wildly popular on cruiser bikes for years. The sleek, fastback styling provides plenty of rider comfort while giving your bike a fast, solo look. Since the tail section is padded and upholstered, Gunfighter also provides the ability to take passengers for short trips. Corbin's fibertech basepan provides a perfect fit to the tank, side panels and fender for a totally custom look. Our newest designs, like the model shown here, also provide for the use of a removable backrest for added support.
Gunfighter seat is ergonomically designed to fit the shape of your body and give better weight distribution than stock. Sculpted support cradles your body and provides a bucket that helps to relieve fatigue on long rides. Towards the tank, we've sculpted the bucket to give good leg clearance and provide for an easy reach to the pavement. Corbin's Gunfighter tail section hugs the fender and follows the shape of the bike for an integrated look. Suitable for passengers on short trips, but don't expect them to be happy back there for too long.
As with all Corbin seats, we build this model up from our exclusive Comfort Cell foam. This purpose built material provides a seating surface nearly twice as firm as stock. Though it may feel firm at first, it is this support that provides the long range riding comfort you've always wanted. Comfort Cell also gives us the ability to build in the complex shape needed to fit your body. After a break in period, our foam will actually begin to take on your shape and provide a personalized fit to your posture.
Customizing your bike is half the fun right? Well, we have a lot of options for you. To start with, we include genuine leather seating in your choice of colors and styles. The model shown on this page uses faux-alligator seating, black faux-ostrich bands with a faux-snakeskin tail... naturally, we can also make your saddle in all smooth black like the other one above for a more subtle look. Leather makes a luxurious surface to ride on since it breathes with your body and will break in along with the foam shape conforming to your body. Care for it well and it will age gracefully and develop its own unique character just like your leather jacket.
Our new backrest support system is totally internal to keep a clean look on your bike. This system provides TWO adjustment features for the Corbin backrest and also folds down on spring loaded hardware to ease mounting your bike. Angle adjustment is built into the backrest to adjust to your posture, while the internal hardware can be set fore and aft to adapt to your stature. Adjustment is simple in both cases and involves just a single set screw (more information below).
Gunfighter accepts any of the five backrest models available from Corbin... choose a size and shape to suit your taste. We recommend either the Gunfighter model #02-G or the Standard model #02-S (click on this thumbnail to see an animated side by side comparison of the two). Our #02-S Ovalbac is slightly larger and provides a more sculpted fit to your body for additional support. Ovalbac models give excellent support and, due to their design, don't trap heat against your body. They also make a great hand-hold for moving your bike around the garage.
Another option for customizing the look of your bike is the interchangable finishing plate on the rear. These ABS finishing plates come in a variety of styles: Leather like (standard), Carbon-Fiber look, Aluminum look or even Primer if you'd like to have it custom painted. For a little extra, we can even supply a plate that is pre-painted to coordinate with the factory paint color on your bike. Model #02-S also has the option of a Chromed steel plate.
Gunfighter saddle installs easily on your bike with a single screw. Simply remove the stock seat from your VTX and the Corbin is ready to install. Just slide the tongue at the front of the saddle into the space on your chassis and lower the saddle into place. Secure it at the rear using the original screw from your fender or if you want to dress it up, use our Chromed Billet thumbscrew (#ACST-6m). Triple plate chromed for a show quality finish and tool free installation to boot!
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

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*

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*
