Ergonomically corrected seating platforms built up of high-density Comfort Cell foam provide surprising comfort value. Corbin's front saddle is shaped like your body to create a greater area of body contact and proper weight distribution, the Corbin saddle eliminates pressure points and increases riding range. Built firm to stay resilient and support your body all day.
Our rear seat is built to give a clean profile and fast looks while providing for good passenger transport capability. On the inside, the saddle is built with the same high quality Comfort Cell foam to provide excellent passenger support. The Corbin rear seat is suitable for mid-range passengers despite the slick, low profile.
After an initial break-in period, Comfort Cell foam will adapt to your body to provide an even greater degree of comfort. Additionally, the seating platform has been neutralized to reduce the tendency to slide towards the tank under braking. Notice also how the front 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 good 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 CB 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 this CB, a backrest is of limited use due to the aggressive seating posture.
Corbin saddles come standard with genuine leather seating inserts for a true touch of luxury. Shown here we used: Black Carbon Fiber leather seating, Matte Black sides, Black stitching and Silver Corbin logo. 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.
Installs like stock and integrates with the Honda key lock system. Both saddles include brackets premounted on the seat so it is ready for immediate installation. Corbin front and rear saddles with work with OEM units.

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!

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.

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.

Testimonials:
Can you spell comfortable? C-O-R-B-I-N. That's right. After installing your seat on my '05 GL1800, I was happy as a lark. Right out of the box it was perfect. I like noticing the beautiful surroundings you see while traveling, not the pain in my butt. -Mark S.
