A beautiful bike through and through... made even nicer with the addition of Corbin's Dual Saddle. Not only does the Corbin saddle add to the visual appeal of the Granturismo, but it gives a level of comfort you would never expect. We accomplish this with seating that is carefully designed to conform to the shape of your body and built up with Comfort Cell foam that gives long term support. Add to this the option of Corbin's removable backrest and you've got an excellent bike for two!
Our backrest installs easily into hardware concealed inside the saddle to keep a very clean look on your scoot. Mounting the backrest is simple and required just a single bolt under the seat to lock it in place. Naturally, we build in an angle adjustment so it can be tailored to fit your copilot's posture and stature. We offer several models of backrest to choose from to suit your style and amount of support desired. For the best combination of looks and support, we recommend the model #02-S as shown.
Saddle installation is simple with all hardware included. Of course we kept the hinging action of the seat to give easy access to your storage area. Corbin's Dual Saddle works on your stock seat lock system and comes with latch and weather stripping preinstalled. Notice also how well the seat fits to the lines of the bike for a totally integrated look. This kind of fit comes only from Corbin and our exclusive Fibertech base plate material. Our basepan provides a firm foundation to support the foam shape and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint job.
Designed to work in conjunction with other accessories available from Vespa like the textile trunk shown here. Saddle also works with the rigid trunk, but not when the backrest is installed. Dual Saddle is sculpted with two ergonomically shaped seating platforms that give more square inches of body contact for proper weight distribution. This shaping helps to relive hot spots and centralized pressure that causes discomfort. Additionally, our Comfort Cell foam material gives a firm supportive ride that will break in over time to provide a personalized fit to your posterior.
On top, your new saddle includes genuine leather seating panels for a truly luxurious ride and a custom look. On this model we suggest our Carbon Fiber laminated leather shown which looks sporty and goes nice with the Granturismo theme. Leather seating will breathe with your body and adapt with the foam shape during break in to support the personalized fit. Coordinated vinyl side panels complete the look and keep the saddle looking sharp. Be sure to care for your saddle properly with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream. This will help your seat resist the elements, stay supple and age gracefully.
For a final bit of customizing, our Ovalbac model backrests offer removable finishing plates on the rear. Our standard backing plate is ABS with a leather look, but you can also choose from a Carbon-Fiber look (shown), aluminum look or even a primer model you can have painted to match your bike... all at no extra charge. For a really extreme look we also offer a backing plate pre-painted gloss black or a chromed steel model for just a little extra. Back plates can be changed easily with just two screws.
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.

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*
