The Corbin Times
Corporate & Motorcycle Industry News


Winter continues...
Punxsutawny Phil doth proclaim:

As I look at the crowd on Gobbler's Knob, Many shadows do I see. So six more weeks of winter it must be!

Don't believe us? Go ahead and read it for yourself on the wizardly woodchuck's very own website!

Looks like a good time to detail the ole' Shovelhead while we wait for Spring... Stay warm folks!



The Diavel is in for Details
An absolutely fabulous machine and a truly remarkable bit of motorcycle engineering, but lacking in one detail... comfort.

We can take care of the Ducati Diavel ergonomics and thanks to our buddy Todd, we now have the bike on site to make it happen.

Naturally we'll be making something sporty and fixing that "hammock" feeling the stock unit leaves you with. While we're at it, we may be able to improve the ride for your occaisional passenger too.

Look for this seat in about three weeks in our new products section.



Close Gunfighter for Dyna-Glide
The original Corbin Gunfighter as originally designed in 1981 is still one of our most popular seat models.

This fresh tooling for the 2006-2012 Dyna-Glide is specially engineered for riders with reach problems and provides seating that is closer to the bars and has a narrow nose for pavement reach.

Of course what made the Gunfighter famous is its outstanding looks and clean flowing lines... something this model has in abundance.

More detail forthcoming in our new products section!



Harley-Davidson FXR Chin Spoiler
Newly redesigned Chin Spoiler for the classic Harley-Davidson hot rod!

Designed to give a smooth, fluid look to the front end of the bike by covering the frame downtubes and other hardware while providing for excellent engine cooling with a large integrated duct.

Constructed of vacuum formed ABS for durability and a clean finish. Available prepainted gloss black or ready for painter's preparation so you can coordinate with your custom paint job.

For more details, check out our new products section.



Royal Enfield Classic 500
Until now, if you wanted to ride two-up on your Royal Enfield, it was a challenge... we've changed all that!

We're very excited to release our new Gunfighter & Lady saddle that not only offers two excellent seating positions, but also has the option of a passenger backrest and does all this without the installation of extra hardware (or the Royal Enfield subframe!)

Corbin's saddle also features a side mounting bracket that holds the accessory leather saddlebags if you'd like to add a bit of storage to your Classic 500.

This saddle model will be online soon in the new products section of this website so please check back!



Triumph Tiger 800
Fresh from the R&D shop and now ready for production is this exceptional Dual saddle for Triumph's Adventure machine.

Offering excellent comfort with dual ergonomically sculpted seating postitions and the option of a removable passenger backrest. Built up with our high density Comfort Cell foam and hand tailored cover for custom looks, this seat takes the Tiger to a whole new level.

It's just a little too late to get one of these made up for Christmas, but you can always resort to a gift certificate if you need to!

Look for this one online soon in our new products section.



Sparrow Retro-Fit
This is Mike Corbin's personal Sparrow which happens to be #100 and (until recently) was used exactly as it was built in July of 2000.

We are now converting it into a 3-Phase AC drive with a Lithium-Ion battery pack for more performance and range.

This week Mike took the little Sparrow up to Manzanita Micro who will supply their battery charger and battery management system.

Sparrow II is under development currently and expected to be available for beta car customers sometime in 2012.



Now Available!
The first in a line of seat models are now available for the HD Switchback Dyna-Glide!

The Switchback's claim to fame is its ability to switch from touring mode to cruising mode easily... something we've been a proponent of for many years. Heck, we even co-developed a convertible model motorcycle with California Customs over ten years ago! Yet we digress...

In typical Corbin fashion, we'll have a variety of seat models available for this hot new Dyna model in a range of styles from bare bones bar hopper to full two-up touring support.

Four seat models are now available and ready for manufacturing. Check them out right HERE and check back soon for more!



2009-2011 GSXR 1000
At long last we have new saddles available for Suzuki's Supersport liter bike!

Designed with high density Comfort Cell foam for firm support and ergonomically shaped to provide excellent weight distribution while eliminating hot spots.

Covered in our unique Carbon-Fiber leather materials for a sporty look that integrates visually with the Gixxer and provides a nice custom touch. Simple installation with brackets included.

Look for the new Gixxer seats in our New Products section sometime next week!



Galveston, TX
The team has just enough time to brush off the road dust, restock the trailer and we'll be back on the road headed toward Galveston, TX and the annual Lone Star Rally.

From the furthest reaches of the USA, Lone Star 2010 brought together 400,000 motorcycle lovers to party, ride and shop. This year promises to be even bigger and better than ever before.

Naturally we'll be bringing lots of inventory and offering our traditional free installation and 10% rally discount through the whole weekend.

Look for the Corbin Rally Rig setup in the historic Strand near the corner of 22nd and Harborside Drive. See you there!



Biketoberfest 2011
Biketoberfest is officially underway and the gang is hard at work tending to the comfort of rally riders.

At our Ormond Beach location we have a good variety of seats in stock and ready to go so you can pull into our Service Area and experience Corbin quality finish first hand. There's no obligation, but we have to warn you... once you see it on your bike and feel the difference you won't want to leave without it!

Ready to ride home in comfort? We're easy to find just a hop, skip and a putt from Rossmeyer's Harley-Davidson.

You'll find riding directions right HERE.



More New Stuff!
The guys in R&D really turned up the volume just in time to debut a bunch of new products at the annual fall rally in Daytona Beach Florida.

Our latest offering is a Dual Touring Saddle for Yamaha's sport cruiser, the Stryker. Designed to work with the Yamaha sissy bar setup or with two Corbin backrests and optional electric seat heaters for total luxury.

Naturally it looks great by itself too with a perfect fit to the fender and smooth flowing lines.

Check out this and all of our new products during Biketoberfest at our Ormond Beach Showroom. 10% rally discount now in effect!



2012 Honda Goldwing 1800
Fresh tooling is now available for Honda's Ultimate Touring Machine!

Although the 2012 model is relatively close to the prior model Goldwing, we thought this would be a good opportunity to refresh our tooling and assure the Corbin Master's Type Saddle remains the finest touring seat available for this incredible machine.

With improved ergonomics, clean looks, integrated heat, custom cover design, Comfort Cell foam and genuine leather seating, the Corbin offering solidifies its spot as the best seat available for long distance riders.

We've got some of these new models in stock now at our Ormond Beach store so if you're headed out for Biketoberfest, don't forget to drop by! We're even offering a 10% rally discount and free installation.
