After a decade of what was arguably the finest sport touring machine ever made, Honda has raised the bar by introducing the ST 1300. Designed for a combination of long range touring and canyon carving agility, the ST will find its way into the stables of many distance riders. But what touring bike is complete without a Corbin saddle? If you want to realize the full potential of your bike, our heated Canyon Dual Sport seat is the setup for you. In fact, we offer two models of this seat to provide a perfect fit to riders of varying stature.
We've created the ultimate sport touring design for a truly luxurious ride. With features like Genuine Leather seating, Heated riding platforms and our removable passenger backrest, Corbin's ST 1300 saddle will completely change the look and feel of your bike. When we first received our ST, Mike spent a few days (rain or shine) out putting some miles on it. He found the stock seat to work well for about 50 miles before the soft foam and incorrect shaping started to get uncomfortable. This is what we call a "Showroom seat" meaning that it works well while the bike is on the showroom floor and not much further.
As always, our first order of business was to create a saddle with generously sculpted seating that conforms to the shape of your body. This sculpted shaping gives more square inches of body contact which, in turn, distributes weight better. Naturally we've constructed the seat with our exclusive Comfort Cell® foam that will provide firm support mile after mile. Our unique foam material supports your weight better and breaks in to take on a personalized shape. We've created a Standard saddle and a new Close design that provides rider seating closer to the bars with a lower overall height. See the comparison below to choose the model that is correct for you.
For an added bit of luxury on those chilly morning rides, we've added seat heaters in both the rider and passenger seating platforms. Heat is controlled by an internal thermostat and activated by a switch conveniently located in the left side panel. Flip the switch and both seating areas heat up and automatically maintain the correct preset temperature.
Both saddle models include built in hardware for a passenger backrest to add more comfort and security for your copilot. Corbin's backrest is fully adjustable to provide a tailored fit to passenger's posture and installs easily with a single bolt. Our Ovalbac model shown provides good contoured support and also makes a convenient hand hold for your passenger. Naturally it comes decorated to match your Corbin saddle for a fully integrated look. To really make your saddle combo look spectacular, you can choose from several backing plate options for your backrest. We have a coordinating Carbon-Fiber look (shown) or a standard leather look plate.
Corbin has been designing quality motorcycle seats for serious motorcycle riders for 35 years and sets the standard for comfort and style. All saddle models include genuine leather seating in choice of colors and styles (shown with smooth black leather seating and Charcoal Carbon-Fiber leather sides & welt). Our tasteful Tuck & Roll stitch pattern adds a nice look to the seat and also serves to conceal the heating units built into the saddle. Leather seating will break in along with the foam shape and provide a personalized fit to your posterior over time. Just be sure to care for it properly with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream.
Our Single piece saddle installs on your bike in place of the two-piece OEM unit with brackets preinstalled on the saddle. Heaters easily wire into your Honda fuse box. We found the height adjustment of the stock seat was not very functional due to the way it changed the angle of the seating and created a poor seating angle. Instead, our saddle mounts in the low position only and provides seating similar to the lowest position of the Honda seat.
To choose the correct model, it is important to understand the differences between the two seat models. The image shown here will give you an idea of the seating posture with the two different styles relative to the fuel tank.

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;
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!
For the complete story, just click the
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.

support and long-range comfort. Supported by internal hardware

for a tailored fit and install or remove easily as desired.

temperature starts to drop. Installation is simple, with the
