Our Canyon Dual Sport saddle design for the GS converts your stock two-piece seat into a very comfortable single piece dual saddle. Designed to maximize the comfort and usability of your bike while placing you in the sweet spot. This single piece design also gave us the ability to work in backrest support hardware in the front seating position which would not be possible with the two-piece unit.
Our Canyon Dual Sport provides platforms that offer an increased area of body contact to give excellent weight dispersion and eliminate hot spots. Neutralized to curb the tendency to slide in the saddle which will greatly reduce fatigue. The shaping of the Corbin saddle relieves centralized pressure and supports from the sides.
All Corbin saddles are built up with our exclusive Comfort Cell® foam. They may feel firm at first, but they break-in to your body and provide lasting support for years... firm is a Good thing! We've also neutralized the seating posture to curb sliding in the saddle and have provided ample room for you to move fore and aft depending on your riding posture.
Accepts a removable backrest in the rider's position for added vertical back support. Backrest installs with a single screw and adjusts easily without removing it from the saddle. Our new Ovalbac model #02-S (shown) has backing plate options for a custom look. Choose from a variety of backrest styles and sizes to suit your needs.
All components are covered using genuine leather in the body contact areas for a perch that breathes with your body. Our leather will break in along with your foam for a luxurious ride. Just make sure you care for your saddle with a quality conditioner like Corbin's Saddle Cream. On this model we've used Carbon-Fiber leather in the seating with Asphalt vinyl sides for contrast. Vinyl sides will keep your saddle nice and tight and looking new longer. Our tasteful stitch pattern and motosport themed logo add a nice finishing touch.
Naturally we have built electric seat heaters into our saddle design that integrate with the BMW control module. A conveniently located switch along the side for the passenger works just like the stock unit. Temperature is controlled and maintained just like the OEM seat to provide luxurious heat on those chilly mornings. To add a touch of class and conceal the heating pads, we use a tasteful twin stitch pattern in the leather seating areas.
Important note about seat heater: It has been brought to our attention that tapping the Corbin wiring pigtail into your BMW wire harness may effect your warranty. If you prefer not to use this method, you can get the BMW connectors from you local dealer and splice those to the Corbin seat heater pigtail. These BMW connectors are not included with the Corbin saddle.
As an extra added value, Corbin's Ovalbac backrest models have a custom finishing plate option included at no extra charge. We have a standard leather-look plate, a Carbon-Fiber look (shown) or primer if you'd like to have it custom painted. If you really want a custom look, you can get a finishing plate in chromed steel or pre-painted gloss black for just a little extra. Please be sure to choose your finishing plate option when ordering.
If you're looking to add a bit of convenient storage, the rear finishing plate can be replaced with the Corbin exclusive Glovebox. This adds four liters of locking storage that is perfect for maps, cell phones, bottled water and other small travel essentials. Comes fully lined and weather stripped to protect cargo. Available in plain black ABS or prepainted gloss black for a little extra.
Mike has been producing quality saddles for America's motorcyclists since 1968 and has been perfecting the art of long distance riding ever since!
Perfecting the Ergos: When Mike picked up his GS, he carefully evaluated the ergonomics and did a lot of seat time to determine the best riding position... or as we call it, the Sweet Spot. Our seat models plant you in this perfect spot which gives you the best feeling of integration with your bike and comfort value. Some have found the reach to the bars to be a tad too much in this position, but moving the seating forward would change the seating which isn't ideal. We suggest going with the Tour Performance bar risers from HeliBar. They provide an additional 2" in height and pull back 2 1/4" to the rider. Sets the new 1250 GS just about perfect!

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.
FIBERTECH™ BASEPAN:
A purpose-built hybrid material that provides a firm foundation
to support the carefully designed ergonomics of the Corbin
saddle. It provides a precision fit to every arc and contour of
the machine and rides on rubber bumpers to protect your paint.
We always design our basepans as flat as possible so bumps or
odd shapes don't telegraph through the foam to your body.

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 its
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 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!

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, click the button for
more information.
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
a personalized fit. Available in a wide range of textures and
styles to suit your taste.

In order to maximize seating capacity and provide seating in the optimum spot on the GS, Corbin opted for a single piece design. This single piece design also gave us the ability to work in backrest support hardware in the front seating position.
In order to use a one-piece basepan and provide support for the integrated backrest, we use our own key lock system rather than the BMW key lock. All brakets and complete instructions included.
IMPORTANT! We include a wiring pigtail for the heater that takes power directly from the battery and does not tap into the BMW wiring harness.
If you would like the saddle to plug into the BMW heater wire, you can obtain a "Repair Plug" from BMW and splice it onto the Corbin saddle. You will need part #83 30 0 402 344. Please note that not all GS's have wiring in place already so this may not apply to your motorcycle.
This seat is designed with extra length in the rider seating area to allow plenty of movement fore and aft.
NOTE: If your 2013 R1200 GS has the muffler on the left side of the bike as in the special edition 90th Anniversary model, this seat will NOT fit your bike.
Corbin saddles (with very few exceptions) include
Genuine Leather Seating
to provide a luxurious look and feel... don’t let anybody tell you
that vinyl is just as good! You wouldn’t buy vinyl boots, would you?
WARNING:
Heater elements (when available) should never be installed in
motorcycle seats that will be used by riders that cannot sense heat.
This could create a hazardous condition.
