Most will recognize the design of this seat as the original Corbin concept from 1982 that we called the Gunfighter, though in this case the Trademark seems somehow inappropriate. With that in mind, we are proud to introduce the Indian Brave saddle!
Two models of this seat design are available: Standard Brave Saddle provides a clean look and keeps a low look over the fender. High Back Brave Saddle adds additional lower back support and offers the option of a removable rider's backrest.
This is one of the most recognized and revolutionary seat models of all time. Often duplicated yet nobody has ever managed to match the perfected lines, clean fit and brilliant tailoring of the Corbin saddle. Plus it's very comfortable for the rider and provides for short trip passengers too. Although on the Bobber, you would need to get yourself setup with some passenger pegs if you want a copilot.
The Brave saddle combines excellent rider support and a fast look for your Indian. Up front an ergonomically contoured saddle provides a large area of body contact for best weight dispersion. Our fastback tail section is padded and upholstered to provide for passengers while providing the rider with additional lower back support. In fact, this saddle offers a full five inches of vertical support with more square inches of ergonomically shaped body contact area!
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 at no additional charge. Leather makes an excellent cover for a motorcycle seat because it is extremely durable and luxurious to ride on. Just be sure to care for it properly with a quality leather conditioner like our Saddle Cream.

Corbin's Brave saddle fits perfectly to the lines of the bike and enhances the appearance of the Scout. Saddle installs on your bike with tabs that go under the strut covers and attach to the subframe to stock bolt locations. Hardware and instructions included.
Our Brave saddle provides excellent support for riding while the shaping in the nose allows good ground reach at stop signs. We've designed our saddle to place the rider in the sweet spot for the best feeling of balance and control. This position is slightly further back and higher than the OEM seat.
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!

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.
To see what this is all about, click the button for
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.
