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. 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. Click on the button at left to learn more... | |
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 the 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 to 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! Just click the button at left for an animation that shows 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, just click the button for More Info | |
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 the personalized fit. Available in a wide range of textures and styles to suit your taste.

Engineered to work in a variety of configurations to provide maximum versatility on your motorcycle. A typical modular seat system consists of: Rider seat, Passenger seat, Smuggler trunk & Corbin backrest. Click the button to see how it all works. | |

Low Front Saddle Dimensions: Rider seating:15.5" wide x 19.5" long Approx. seat height: 28.5" |
Test Rider Comments: | Greg Hurley 6’5", 235 lbs Ground reach is rarely a problem when you’re my height, but the stock unit left me feeling like I was sitting atop the bike rather than being an integral part of it. The Corbin saddle really helps the feeling of balance and control while offering much better support. John Ortiz 5’10", 160 lbs The stock unit is too wide and the crowned design applies too much central pressure. Something about the shape seems to rock my hips forward uncomfortably. The Corbin saddle offers a much more natural seating position with excellent support. Even with the wide bucket design, I can reach the ground by sliding forward and out of the bucket. The seat heater switch is much easier to find without dismounting. Chance Darling 5’9", 175 lbs The stock seat feels FAT. The soft foam of the seat doesn't seem to offer any type of organized support and feels high in the front which applies pressure to a very sensitive area. The Corbin front is a much nicer riding saddle with excellent support and no "mush". The back support is excellent especially with the backrest installed. |
Installation Instructions for LOW saddle: K12-LT-F-SHRT | |
Corbin's Front saddle will install with your stock BMW rear saddle although it was not specifically designed to do so. There will be a 1" gap between the front Corbin and rear stock seats if installed in this configuration. Consider getting the Corbin rear seat also! | |
Just like the BMW model low saddle, Corbin's low design front saddle requires trimming of the bodywork to install. | |
No modifications required on the 2005 model to fit the low seat version; part # K12-LT-F-SHRT. | |
When designing this saddle, we provided additional room in the rider seating area to allow you to move around more on long trips. Adding to the length of the seating area enables you to slide fore and aft as needed. | |
Corbin's front saddles for the LT are no longer available with electric heat. | |
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. |
