An outstanding Solo Saddle & Passenger Pillion to fit the awesome VTX Retro. Designed to provide maximum rider comfort combined with a classy, nostalgic look. Provides the use of our removable rider's backrest for 16 inches of vertical back support. Our sculpted seating position gives maximized body contact and provides true touring comfort with a bucket that gives the support you need for the awesome power of the VTX. Our neutralized seat platform offers an easier reach to the ground and a more ergonomic position on the bike.
Corbin’s 50's style rear seat easily bolts up along with the Corbin solo and keeps a sleek, vintage look with capabilities for passengers. We build this model low to look sly, but use our high density Comfort Cell foam for a firm supportive ride. Alternately we offer a Touring Pillion seat that provides longer range comfort for your copilot. Besides offering a larger seating area, the Touring Pillion is ergonomically sculpted to provide better weight distribution and eliminate hot spots. Naturally both passenger saddle models are build to match your Classic Solo for a totally integrated look.
Both saddles and backrest are richly tailored with genuine leather seating panels and built with Corbin's Comfort Cell® foam. Choose from a wide range of leather options (all included) for your seating. Leather will provide a nice perch that breathes with your body and will break in along with the foam shape for a personalized fit. Just be sure to care for your leather saddle with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream. With proper care, your seat will age gracefully developing a unique character and will be your riding buddy for years. Our Classic Solo Saddle & pillion will completely change the look and feel of your new cruiser. Optional chrome studs provide an added nostalgic touch (included at no charge).
Additionally, our Solo Saddle accepts the Corbin removable backrest. Corbin's backrest offers an additional 8.75 inches of adjustable support and is easily installed with a single bolt. We have several styles of backrest to choose from to suit your taste, just click over to the Accessories tab for complete information. To further customize the look of your bike, we can provide a variety of back plate options on our Ovalbac series backrests. Our standard back plate has a leather look or for a little extra, you can have yours painted to match your stock paint scheme as shown here.
Due to our patented molding and manufacturing process, the Solo saddle fits extremely well and installs easily with 2 stock bolts into the sides. You will transfer the two side brackets from your stock front seat to install the Corbin Classic Solo. Our pillion pad comes ready to install.
This saddle cover has been updated to use our new backrest hardware cover with the sliding door as shown here. To install the backrest, just slide the cover over to the side. When the backrest is not needed, just slide it closed. It doesn't get easier than that! Click image for details.
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. 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.
