Shown in the images above is the 1500 model. The seat for the 800 looks slightly different.
Corbin proudly offers a newly designed Solo Saddle for Kawasaki's retro-cruiser! Our new Classic Solo offers incredible comfort characteristics due to its ergonomically perfected seating platform and high tech Comfort Cell® foam. The design comes standard with 100% American tanned leather in a choice of colors and styles to add as much form as function to your new Drifter.
Naturally, Corbin's Classic solo also accepts our removable and adjustable backrest that adds an additional 8.75" of vertical support. Corbin's backrest system is supported by hidden hardware that doesn't clutter up the look of your bike. Our system allows the backrest to be installed or removed with just a single bolt under the saddle and is easily tailored to your riding posture.
Corbin designed this saddle to add an exquisite, vintage look to your bike. The complete saddle is covered in genuine leather and features multiple rows of chrome studs with a new Indian choncho on the skirt. Under the skirt we have included a removable strip of leather fringe to add to the custom looks. The fringe makes a nice nostalgic touch and hides the gap between the saddle and rear fender.

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. |

 |
FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN: A purpose built, hybrid material that provides a firm foundation to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin saddle. Provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint. Click on the button at left to learn more... |

#02-SB
Standard Ovalbac® |
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*
|
|
#297-SB
Standard Backrest |
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.

|
|
#02-L
Large Ovalbac® |
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).

|
#02-T
Tee Ovalbac® |
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.
