Dual Tour saddle for 2004 - 2009 Triumph Rocket III
Often imitated, but never duplicated, Corbin's popular Dual Tour is available for the Rocket III with the option of electric seat heaters! This model provides you and a passenger with the most comfort and support available. Our sculpted seating gives proper weight distribution to allow long range comfort. Generously contoured platforms eliminate hot spots and centralized pressure that causes discomfort. On the inside, Corbin's exclusive Comfort Cell® foam material gives firm support that conforms to your body over time for a personalized fit. Naturally, we keep a nice flowing line on the bike that integrates with the vintage theme.
Corbin's Dual Touring Saddle accepts two removable rider's backrests. Backrests are fully adjustable for a tailored fit to your posture and install or remove easily as desired. In the front we have engineered the backrest to fold down to make it easier to mount your bike. This special hardware (built into the saddle) also allows the backrest position fore and aft to be adjusted to your stature. Once the backrest is installed, both of these adjustments can be performed without removing the saddle from the motorcycle.
Naturally, you can use a single Corbin backrest that transfers front to back as needed or get two backrests for full time use. Installation of the Corbin backrest is easy enough to make this possible at a moments notice. Simply slide the backrest shaft into the built in hardware and secure it in place with the provided set screw. We've also designed the Dual Touring Saddle to work with the Tall sissy bar / luggage rack available from Triumph (part #A9738070). Currently, the short bar has been unavailable for testing, but appearances indicate our seat should work fine with that system as well.
As you can see in this image, the ergonomic design of the Dual Touring saddle also gives a nice flowing shape on the Rocket for a clean look. Inside the saddle, Corbin's Comfort Cell foam provides a nice firm perch that supports your body indefinitely and doesn't cave in like softer materials. Comfort Cell feels firm when you first ride on it, but it is this support that gives you day long comfort. That's why we always say "Firm is a good thing".
We use genuine leather seating panels for a luxurious ride that breathes with your body. Leather is extremely durable and will break in along with the foam shape to conform to your body. Our standard Dual Tour comes in plain black for a very subdued look. If you prefer something with a bit more flair, we can add our custom stitch pattern and chrome studs... or to play up the sporty aspects of the bike, add a colored welt of your choice (shown with Charcoal Carbon-Fiber). All these options are available at no additional charge! Please note, heated seat models require the stitch pattern.
Speaking of heated seats... For the Rocket III we offer the option of electric heated seating. A single switch controls the heat for both the rider and passenger positions. The switch is conveniently located along the left side of the saddle so you can reach it without taking your hand off the throttle. The two position switch allows you to select a heat level depending on conditions. Level of heat is controlled automatically by a thermostat built into the control unit. Very simple to install into your stock wiring.
As a final bit of customization, Corbin's Ovalbac model backrests have interchangeable finishing plates on the rear. Choose from Leather look, Carbon-Fiber look, Aluminum look or primer if you'd like to have them painted. For a little extra we can now provide a chromed steel model like the ones shown here. These integrate very nicely with the theme of the Rocket and its tasty chrome bits. The chrome backs blend in so nicely with the design that it's almost like camouflage!
Be sure to care for your leather saddle properly with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream. This will help the hyde to resist the elements and remain supple. The leather seating will conform along with the foam shape and provide a personalized fit to your posterior. Over time, your leather saddle will develop its own unique character just like your leather jacket does. Never use cleaners or conditioners that have a petroleum or kerosene base (as many commercial products do) as they will damage the hyde and shorten its lifespan. With good care, your leather saddle will serve you well for many years to come.
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
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...
CORBIN BACKREST SYSTEM: The first and most versatile removable backrest system available for motorcycles! Corbin's backrests provide added vertical back support and long range comfort. Supported by internal hardware for a very clean look. Backrests adjust to rider's profile for a tailored fit and install or remove easily as desired. A very popular option! Click the button for additional info...
ELECTRIC HEAT: As an option we can include electric heat in this saddle! This option provides a true bit of luxury for when the temperature starts to drop. Simple to install with major components pre-built into the saddle. Just wire in the included pigtail and you're ready to roll. Click the button at left for complete info...

Installation: Dual Touring Saddle installs easily with brackets included. Installation is slightly different than your stock seat to provide the strength needed to support the integrated backrest system. Notice also we do not use a snorkel over the airbox and instead let the bike pull air from the entire under seat area (this actually frees up airflow). Since the Corbin basepan forms over the edges of the frame, you needn't worry about water intrusion either.
Simply install the Corbin bracket onto your fender with the included bolts. This provides the mounting points needed to mount the Dual Touring saddle. We recommend the use of Loctite or other threadlock compound and torque these bolts to 8 ft lbs. If using a heated model, you will also need to connect the wiring pigtail to your fusebox.
Now lower the seat into position with the tongue in the front and the side mounts lining up with the bracket you installed earlier. Secure with the included chrome button head bolts using a little Loctite and torque them to 6 ft lbs. You're ready to roll. Complete instructions included.
Brackets are shown yellow for illustration purposes only. Actual brackets come prepainted black.
We recommend removing the seat from the bike when washing. In the case of the Rocket III, remember to cover your airbox when doing this to stop water from getting into the airbox!
The authorized biography of Mike Corbin, written by our friend William Carrington. Following the triumphs and trials of a lifetime developing new ideas from motorcycle seats to electric cars. An all American story! *Excerpts*
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*
