Corbin offers two seat models for the KZs. We have a Gunfighter & Lady model that provides generous comfort for two or our fastback Gunfighter design for a cool look and solo comfort. Both fit perfectly and provide a nice custom touch to your bike. Constructed with our exclusive Comfort Cell foam inside for firm support that lasts. On the outside, genuine leather seating panels give a luxurious ride and outstanding durability.
Gunfighter & Lady has the option of a removable passenger backrest for added comfort and security. Supported by internal hardware that keeps a clean line, Corbin's backrest system installs with a single setscrew locking it in place. Backrest is adjustable to provide a tailored fit to your passenger's profile and riding posture. Adjustment is simple and does not require removal from the seat to accomplish. Naturally, your Corbin backrest will be tailored to coordinate with your Corbin seat with a wide variety of leather options.
Gunfighter model has the passenger section converted into a fastback design for radical looks. This model looks exceptionally clean with the chrome fender rail removed. Although it is not really designed to take passengers on long trips, you can easily manage your 'round town copilot on the padded and upholstered tail section. Up front, the bucket seating provides excellent solo comfort.
Both saddle models come standard with genuine leather seating panels in your choice of colors and styles. Shown here we used our carbon fiber laminated leather in the seating with coordinating carbon fiber embossed vinyl sides. The Gunfighter model has a smooth tail for contrast. This combination looks great and caters to the drag racing heritage of the KZ models. Naturally we have a wide range of leather styles to choose from and include color options at no added cost.
Notice how the seating buckets are sculpted to conform to the shape of the human body... this is what we call ergonomic shaping. It is this complex shaping that sets Corbin apart from other motorcycle seat makers. Our sculpting seating cradles your body and disperses your weight over a greater area while it eliminates hot spots. Inside, the high-density foam material supports your weight indefinitely for longer riding range.
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.
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.

CORBIN BACKREST SYSTEM:
The first and most versatile removable backrest system available
for motorcycles! Corbin's backrests provide added vertical back
support and long-range comfort. Supported by internal hardware
for a very clean look, the backrests adjust to the rider's profile
for a tailored fit and install or remove easily as desired.

Rider Comments
I just recieved the seat that i ordered from you. It is fantastic. Perfect fit on the bike, perfect fit for my behind. This is the 3rd seat that I have purchased from you. Back in '95-'96 I ordered one for a Kaw Vulcan 750 that was perfect. The next was one I got for my Honda Shadow Spirit 1100. As comfortable as the day i bought it and it has 65k miles supporting me. Unfortunately, when I got my Mean Streak I cheaped out with a {other brand ommited} solo seat that was a piece of junk.
So this puts me back where I belong and will allow me those 10 hour days traveling. And it is totally stunning on the bike.
Thank you for you attention, promptness and craftsmanship. -John M.

Testimonials:
Can you spell comfortable? C-O-R-B-I-N. That's right. After installing your seat on my '05 GL1800, I was happy as a lark. Right out of the box it was perfect. I like noticing the beautiful surroundings you see while traveling, not the pain in my butt. -Mark S.
