Classic Solo & Pillion for V-Star 1100 Classic & V-Star 1100 Custom
Corbin's Classic Solo Saddle is designed to provide maximum rider comfort combined with a classy, nostalgic look. Our sculpted seating position gives maximized body contact and provides true touring comfort with a bucket that gives the support you need for long range riding. We've sculpted the rider bucket to relieve centralized pressure and provide support more from the side. Our neutralized seat platform offers an easier reach to the ground and a more correct ergonomic position on the bike. For your copilot we offer two models of pillion pads to suit your riding habits. Our Standard pillion provides a great perch for short to medium range riding and keeps a sly, vintage look on your bike. Corbin's Touring pillion (not shown) maximizes the seating width of the rear fender while keeping a low profile and providing touring quality support. Ergonomic shaping similar to the Classic Solo gives your copilot a greater area of body contact. Both models are built up with our high density foam to give your passenger a firm supportive ride mile after mile. Either combination looks great on both the Custom and Classic models of the Yamaha V-Star 1100.
Both saddles are richly tailored with genuine leather seating panels and built up with our exclusive Comfort Cell® foam. Choose from a wide range of leather options for a custom touch at no extra charge. Leather will provide a nice perch that breathes with your body and will break in along with the foam shape for a personalized fit. Just be sure to care for your leather saddle with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream. With proper care your seat will age gracefully, developing a unique character, and will be your riding buddy for years. Our leather solo saddle & pillions will completely change the look and feel of your new cruiser and are an excellent value. Chrome studs and a tasteful concho provide an added nostalgic touch (included at no charge if desired) and look perfect on the V-Star Classic.
To complete the package, we offer a coordinated sissy bar pad that bolts up easily to your Yamaha sissy bar. Contoured to fit the shape of your copilot's back and provide excellent ergonomic support. Naturally, the pad comes coordinated to match the look of your Corbin saddle for an integrated look. Built with the same quality materials as your saddle for day long comfort!
Due to our patented molding and manufacturing process, Corbin's saddles fit extremely well and install easily on your stock chassis. Classic Solo installs with the tongue in the front and a single screw into your fender into an existing location. Passenger saddle installs by transferring the rear tab from your stock rear seat onto the Corbin model. Pillion then bolts down like stock using the fender bracket and rear tab. For a dressier installation, use our Chrome Billet thumbscrew (#ACST-8M) in the rear and intall your pillion tool-free!
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...

The saddle models for the V-Star 1100 Classic will NOT accept either a rider's or passenger's backrest.
The saddle models for the V-Star 1100 Classic will fit all models up to 2006.
For the 2002 1100 Custom models, the front saddle must be removed from the motorcycle in order to install the backrest safety screw. This is accomplished with just two bolts.
When ordering a sissy bar pad for your Yamaha, you can verify the correct fitment using these photos as a guide. There are a few different sissy bar systems available from Yamaha and this is a good way to assure you get the correct part.
Compare the bolt pattern of your sissy bar to the bolt pattern shown for each of the pads to assure proper bolt alignment.
The #4WM-41 and #YRS-PAD have the same bolt pattern on the rear and same shape to the bar. The big difference between these two is the thickness of the pad. The #YRS-PAD is designed to work with the Royal Star sissy bar that leans further back than the Drag Star model.
