Hollister, CA- Corbin announced today the introduction of their new Dual Tour Saddle for Harley’s new 2011-2012 Softail Blackline. Corbin has a long history of designing saddles that look as good as they perform and this Dual Tour is no exception. Designed to give Blackline riders the next level of comfort, this saddle features genuine leather and ergonomically designed seating for maximum weight dispersion. Each seating area is sculpted for proper weight distribution which allows long range capability. Generously contoured platforms eliminate hot spots and centralized pressure that causes discomfort. On the inside, Corbin’s exclusive Comfort Cell® foam material gives firm support that conforms to your body. And as an added bit of luxury, the Dual Tour offers the option of electric seat heaters for those chilly morning rides and removable backrests in both front and rear… All wrapped up in Corbin style for clean looks!

Dual Touring Saddle backrests are fully adjustable to provide a tailored fit to an individual’s posture.

Corbin backrests are shaped to fit the curve of your body for better fit and greater comfort. Notice also, the amount of vertical support offered by the bucket design of the Corbin saddle… 7 inches of vertical support or 17″ with the backrest installed.

If you’re looking to add a little storage space to your Blackline, check out Corbin’s glovebox for the rear of your backrest. Designed to carry four liters of your essential stuff like cell phones, spare gloves, bottled water, maps and sunglasses, it comes fully lined and weather stripped with two keys. As always, a host of leather and color options are available for the Dual Tour Saddle at no additional charge. MSRP: $593.00

Corbin Introduces the World Famous Gunfighter Saddle for 2006-2012 HD FXD Dyna-Glide, Switchback and 2006-2008 Dyna Wide Glide Models

Hollister, CA- Corbin announced today the introduction of the World Famous Gunfighter saddle that was designed by Mike Corbin back in 1982 for 2006-2012 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna-Glide, Switchback and 2006-2008 Dyna Wide Glide models. This timeless design has been the most recognizable and revolutionary seat design to ever hit the motorcycle industry and also has become the most copied seat ever produced. To this day, this seat is still one of Corbin’s most popular seat models for Harleys and Metrics alike.

Simple to install or remove, the Corbin saddle mounts to stock locations with a single bolt. A wide variety of custom materials are available by special order at no extra charge when you order a Gunfighter or any other Corbin saddle.
