Most will recognize the design of this seat as the original Corbin concept from 1982 that we called the Gunfighter, though in this case a name change seemed appropriate... Introducing the Indian Brave saddle! This is one of the most recognized and revolutionary seat models of all time. Often duplicated yet nobody has ever managed to match the perfected lines, clean fit and brilliant tailoring of the Corbin model... and it's comfortable too!
The Brave saddle combines excellent rider support and a fast look for your Indian. Up front an ergonomically contoured saddle provides a large area of body contact for best weight dispersion. Our fastback tail section is padded and upholstered to provide for short trip passengers while providing the rider with additional lower back support. In fact, this saddle offers a full six inches of vertical support with over 140 square inches of ergonomically shaped body contact area! Simple to install or remove, the Corbin saddle mounts to stock location with a single bolt.
Features genuine leather seating for a perch that breathes with your body and breaks in with the foam shape for a personalized fit. Choose from a variety of leather styles to customize the look of the saddle. Leather makes an excellent cover for a motorcycle seat because it is extremely durable and luxurious to ride on. Just be sure to care for it properly with a quality leather conditioner like our Saddle Cream.
Shown above in two different styles, a wide variety of custom materials are available by special order at no extra charge. Shown:
Tan Bomber Jacket leather seating, sides and tail with natural stitching, chrome studs and embroidered warrior emblem .
Black natural grain leather seating, sides and tail with white stitching, chrome studs, Royal blue welt and warrior emblem.
Corbin's Brave saddle fits perfectly to the lines of the bike and enhances the appearance of the Chief. Saddle installs on your bike easily with just a single bolt into the stock location on your fender. For a clean look and tool free mounting, use one of our stainless steel thumbscrews in this location.
Regarding Seat Height: We measured the effective seat height of our Brave saddle and came up with numbers that don't jive with the OEM spec. We're not sure how they measured, but we made the Corbin saddle as low as practical to put the rider is the sweet spot on the bike for maximum comfort and control. This changes the seat height, but we think the visual comparison above makes more sense than the numbers. Just click on the fifth image above to check it out.
IMPORTANT FIT INFORMATION: Please review this image and note the shape and size of the side covers on your bike. If your side covers look like A then you actually need this seat: #I-C-B. If your side covers look like B, this is the correct seat for your motorcycle.
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;

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:
...the seat looks great! Nothing like real leather and a solid frame underneath. Nice leather work, and that shows right off. I may pick up a passenger rest before next summer, once I decide which style and whether I want the one with the storage compartment... -Joseph T.
