You probably didn't figure the Wizard's would be working on anything new for the Commando did you? Well, we just love bikes... vintage bikes, new bikes, metric bikes... just about anything on two wheels. So it's really no big surprise to see innovative new items like our Smuggler trunk being tooled for the Commando. Especially when this bike still has such a strong fan base in the US (and for good reason).
Corbin's Smuggler design takes the lines of our popular Gunfighter saddle to keep a clean, fast look on your bike. However, on this model instead of a padded tail section, we've converted it into a locking storage trunk. This provides the most convenient storage available for your bike and it's secure too. Up front, the Corbin Smuggler features an extremely comfortable saddle tailored in genuine leather.
Inside we've found plenty of room for a couple bottles of water along with maps, keys, cell phones, spare gloves and other incidental items. Naturally it's fully lined on the inside to protect your cargo. Door is fully weather stripped and comes complete with lock to secure your goodies. Trunk is bolted directly to the Corbin front saddle so the system mounts together as a single piece... simple!
Notice how the Corbin trunk is specially sculpted to pick up the lines of the Norton tank and emulate them. This is not a generic storage pod mounted up with a comfy seat, it was specially designed to look correct and fit perfect on the Norton. Speaking of perfect looks, your Smuggler trunk comes to you prepainted in gloss black and ready to mount right out of the box (pin striping not included).
Up front, the saddle is ergonomically engineered to fit the shape of your body and provide contoured support. This gives more square inches of body contact which provides better weight distribution. Upholstered in genuine leather for a luxurious ride that breathes with your body and breaks in along with the foam shape for a custom fit to your posture. Corbin's exclusive Comfort Cell foam give you firm support for a long day's ride!
Installation is simple and uses a key lock built into the saddle for easy on and off. Once our unique bracket is installed on the chassis of your Norton, you simply remove the saddle with a twist of the key. Our unique bracket system eliminates the possibility of inadvertent loosening. Attaches to standard configuration Commando with no modifications. Fits with small Roadster tank from 1970 up.
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;

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!

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.

KEY LOCK INSTALLATION:
This saddle model uses a new mounting system designed by Corbin
to allow installation and removal with a simple key lock. Once
the included brackets are installed, the saddle can be removed
easily by simply inserting and turning the key.

Installation: Corbin's bracket installs to stock locations on your bike and provides a stainless steel latch pin for the locking mechanism. Once the bracket is installed, just lower the seat onto the latch pin and push down until you hear TWO clicks. Placement of the rubber bumpers assure saddle will not move around on the bike.
Corbin saddles (with very few exceptions) include
Genuine Leather Seating

that vinyl is just as good! You wouldn’t buy vinyl boots, would you?
WARNING:
Heater elements (when available) should never be installed in
motorcycle seats that will be used by riders that cannot sense heat.
This could create a hazardous condition.
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.
