Using brackets pre-installed, the Corbin rear seat integrates with your BMW system so you can upgrade your passenger and still keep your stock front seat if you prefer. An added bonus of the Corbin passenger seat is the integration of dual backrests. Support hardware is built in for a rider backrest and also passenger. Naturally because the backrests are easily adjustable, you can use a single backrest and transfer it front to back as needed or get two backrests for full time use. Installation is simple with a single bolt locking the backrest into completely internal hardware for a very clean look.
Corbin saddles are designed with Ergonomic Shaping. This means the saddle is shaped like the human body to create more square inches of body contact and better weight distribution. This will eliminate hot spots and provide more support over your entire rear end. When combined with our exclusive Comfort CellŪ foam, you'll find a firm supportive ride that allows you to spend all day in the saddle and rack up the miles. Over time, our exclusive foam material will actually break in and fit the shape of your body for personalized comfort.
Our blend of unique materials and craftsmanship provides a component that flows with the bike and looks as good as it works... Corbin delivers maximum value with designer quality appearance! Seat shaping provides a nice flowing look on the bike that matches the BMW styling. On top we've designed a cover pattern in genuine leather for a luxurious ride that looks great. Our neutralized seating platform helps to curb the tendency to slide in the saddle which will help eliminate fatigue over the long haul.
Ever decided to get up early and hit the road to beat the traffic only to find out it's nearly freezing out there? We have and that's why we provide the option of electric heated seating. You'll be amazed what it does to raise your core body temperature! We incorporate a heater unit under the leather seating and a switch on the left side of the saddle. Just flip the switch and the seat will warm up and maintain temperature automatically. Comes completely preinstalled in the saddle and you only need integrate the included pigtail to your BMW wiring.
Virtually all Corbin saddles include genuine leather seating for a luxurious ride that breathes with your body. Likewise, leather seating will break in along with the foam shape to provide a personalized fit to your body over time. In the side panels we use a vinyl material to support the foam shape and keep the saddle taught and nice looking for years to come. The model shown here uses our standard black leather seating with Asphalt vinyl sides, silver carbon-fiber welt and tasteful stitch pattern. Naturally the choice of cover materials is yours to make at no extra charge.
Carefully designed ergonomics, high density Comfort Cell foam, genuine leather seating and a host of custom options all included... Corbin offers the highest possible quality in a motorcycle saddle at a reasonable price. Also, since it's a complete saddle from the basepan up, you can keep your stock BMW seat intact in case you ever decide to trade-in your bike. This also means you won't be without your bike while your seat is being built. Besides, you'll be the only person in your office with a BMW seat paperweight on your desk!
A bit more custom... Our Ovalbac backrests have removable finishing plates on the rear so you can customize their look. Our standard plate is a leather look ABS, but we also offer a Carbon-Fiber look or primer for custom painting. For just a bit extra we can provide a plate either prepainted gloss black or in chromed steel. If you're in the market for a little more storage we have this cool new Glovebox that attaches in place of the rear plate. If offers plenty of room for a couple bottles of water and your other small travel essentials like cell phones and (you guessed it) gloves. For more details about the Glovebox, just click HERE.

Corbin's rear seat works with the BMW top box, but will not work with our removable passenger backrest when top box is installed. | |
If your bike was converted to use the one piece LOW seat available from BMW, then seat installation brackets were removed from the chassis. These will need to be reinstalled to work with the Corbin two piece seat system. | |
Installation: Although the Corbin basepan appears quite different than the stock unit, it installs the same. There are two tongues on the front of the seat that mesh with locations on the BMW chassis and a latch bracket on the rear that works with your stock key lock. Rear saddle holds front saddle in place when installed. | |
Now available with heater units that work directly on the BMW wiring system | |
Installation Instructions: Page 1 - Page 2 | |
When an RT is converted to use the BMW Low seat, there are brackets removed to allow for a lower seat base. Because of this our standard seats won't fit the Lowered model unless you get the proper brackets from your BMW dealer. | |
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. |
