Corbin's exclusive Rumble Seat offers you the best of both worlds... Slick solo looks and passenger capability with a flip of the wrist.
Convenient and easy to use, this seat design features an all new hinge mechanism that secures the passenger fold down backrest in either position effortlessly. When down, the passenger rest gives the seat a sleek integrated look and provides additional lower back support for the rider. The rear finishing plate is painted to coordinate with your OEM color and give a flawless profile.
When you wish to carry passengers, just fold up the rear pad to reveal a generous passenger seating area complete with backrest that provides 16 inches of vertical support. Switching the saddle to passenger mode also activates the integrated brake light in the rear plate for added safety. Naturally, the saddle looks great in either position and is finished in your choice of styles for a totally custom look.
Of course the entire saddle and backrest pad are constructed with our Comfort Cell® foam to give firm support and increased riding range. Our foam material feels firm when you first ride it, but this firmness is what gives you the ability to ride great distances in comfort... long lasting support! The most versatile seat design available for your 'Wing. On the rear of the seat the painted panel emulates the Honda bodywork.
In the saddle we've maximized each of the riding positions to provide the greatest area of body contact possible, thus spreading your weight over a greater area. This helps to eliminate hot spots and provides excellent support for the long rides. Both seating platforms have been ergonomically sculpted to spread weight properly and support your body.
We also offer an option of heated rider seating for your Rumble seat design. We incorporate a heater unit under the leather seating and a switch on the left side of the saddle (so you can turn it on without removing your hand from the throttle). Just flip the switch and the seat will warm up and maintain temperature automatically through an integrated controller. A true bit of luxury for those chilly morning rides! Corbin's heater wires easily into your battery with all wiring and adapters included. NOTE: Only the front seating area is heated on this model.
Rumble Seat 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. In the side panels and tail, we use a coordinating vinyl material to keep your foam shape tight and the saddle looking sharp longer. Leather makes an excellent cover for a motorcycle seat because it is extremely durable and luxurious to ride on. As your saddle ages, the leather will take on its own unique character just like your leather jacket does.

Just be sure to care for your new saddle properly with a quality leather conditioner like our Saddle Cream. Your saddle will be your best friend for many years!
Rumble seat installs easily on your bike similar to your stock seat. All brackets come pre-installed on your new Corbin seat so it is ready for immediate installation. We also include a wire tap and pigtail to integrate the saddle with your brake light. Naturally, if you opt for the heated model, we include all needed wiring to complete this installation as well.
Perfecting the Ergos: When Mike picked up his 'Wing, he carefully evaluated the ergonomics and did a lot of seat time to determine the best riding position... or as we call it, the Sweet Spot. Our seat models plant you in this perfect spot which gives you the best feeling of integration with your bike and comfort value. Some have found the reach to the bars to be a tad too much in this position, but moving the seating forward would create additional knee bend which isn't ideal. We suggest going with the Tour Performance bar risers from HeliBar. They provide an additional 5/8" in height and pull back 2 3/4" to the rider. Sets the new Gold Wing up just about perfect!

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY:
The design and manufacture of Corbin products is so unique that
Mike Corbin himself holds more than 60 United States Patents!

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;

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!

button.
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.
