Front & Rear saddles for 2006-2007 Yamaha YZF 600 R6
Ergonomically corrected seating platforms built up of high-density Comfort Cell foam for sport-touring comfort. Shaped like your body to create a greater area of body contact and proper weight distribution, the Corbin saddles eliminates pressure points and increases your riding range. Built firm to stay resilient and support your body all day.
After an initial break-in period, Comfort CellŪ foam will adapt to your body to provide an even greater degree of comfort. Additionally, the seating platforms have been neutralized to reduce the tendency to slide towards the tank under braking. Notice also how the seat is shaped to provide support for your legs while your feet are on the footpegs, but is shaved in the nose area to allow ground reach.
Our Fibertech basepan creates a firm foundation for the foam shape and keeps the carefully designed ergonomics intact. Engineered to fit every contour of the R6 and provide a perfect fit. Under the saddle, rubber bumpers keep your paint job safe from scuffing. Both front and rear saddles mount like stock and come with brackets preinstalled on the saddle.
Due to the limited space and lack of sufficient structure, we were unable to incorporate the Corbin passenger backrest system into this seat model. Besides, on bike models like the R6, a backrest is of limited use because of the aggressive seating posture.
Corbin saddles come standard with genuine leather seating inserts for a true touch of luxury. We recommend our Carbon Fiber laminated leather seating with Asphalt vinyl sides for a nice accent. Leather will provide a seating surface that breathes with your body and will adapt with the foam during break in for a perfectly personalized fit.
... it was like sittin' on a couch on the way home... Words cannot express!!!
When I look to ride more aggressively it's just perfect. Not to mention it looks great.

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.

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...

Front saddle installs just like stock with adjustable mounting brackets included and premounted on the Corbin saddle. To mount the saddle, slide the rear mounting tabs under the tail section FIRST, then secure front tongue while sliding saddle forward. Reinstall stock bolts and you're ready to go.
Rear seat installs easily and uses the stock Yamaha key lock system. Brackets are included that integrate with your R6 seat mechanism and come premounted on the seat as shown. Brackets are slightly adjustable to provide for perfect integration.
As counter-intuitive as this may sound, we have found that when installing the rear seat, it is usually the rear most bracket that needs adjustment in order to get the front latch to catch properly. If the seat won't lock, adjust the rear bracket DOWN and this will allow the front bracket to engage the key lock.

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*
