Versatility, excellent looks and total functionality! The Corbin wizards have designed a modular system for the FJR that can easily convert from solo to dual riding and works on your stock key lock system. The Corbin system consists of the following components: Front Saddle, Passenger Saddle, Adjustable Passenger backrest, Glovebox option and the exclusive Corbin Smuggler® Trunk. The perfect blend of form and function that's as easy to use as turning a key.
Front Saddle: Corbin's rider seat offers improved ergonomics that gives proper weight distribution. This sculpted seating area fits the shape of your body and helps to eliminate hot spots and the centralized pressure you feel from the stock unit. The platform has been neutralized to curb sliding towards the tank under braking which also helps to reduce fatigue. All this comfort is wrapped up in a package that fits perfectly to the bodywork of the bike for an integrated look and clean visual appearance. We built this model as low as possible to provide the best ground reach. Because of this, we have not integrated the adjustable height function of the seat and eliminated the plastic mounting plate. This enabled us to provide a better fit to the bike and perfected ergos.
Rear Saddle: For your passenger we've also designed an ergonomically correct seat for touring class support. Wide sculpted seating provides a contact patch of roughly 120 square inches so your passenger can rack up the mileage with you in comfort. For additional support and an added feeling of security, our passenger seat also accepts a removable backrest. Corbin backrests are simple to install and lock in place with a single bolt. Naturally they're adjustable to provide a tailored fit to your copilot's posture.
Passenger Rest: The removable backrest is a Corbin invention from over a decade ago. We now offer a variety of backrest styles to suit your needs and personal taste. On this bike, we recommend the #02-S Ovalbac backrest for the best combination of form and function. Sculpted to fit the shape of your passenger's body, providing a huge contact area for excellent support. Backrest angle can be easily adjusted without removing it from the seat so you spend your time enjoying the bike, not wrenching it. Naturally, Corbin backrests are covered in the same materials as your saddle for a totally coordinated look.
Both Saddles: For an added bit of luxury on your Sport Tourer, we've designed the front and rear saddles with the option of electric heat! Simple to install with all components built into the saddles… you just have to install a simple wiring pigtail on your bike and enjoy the heat. A great feature to have when you're taking off early in the morning to beat the traffic! Convenient switch is located on the left side of the saddle. Once on, the saddle will warm up and maintain temperature automatically though an integrated controller. Both front and rear seats are available heated (or non-heated) and have separate switches to control them.
Smuggler® Trunk: Another original Corbin idea! Simply remove the rear seat and replace it with the Smuggler trunk to instantly add 12 liters of convenient, locking storage. For the best looks, Smuggler comes prepainted to coordinate with your factory paint (please specify color) and provides a secure area for your traveling essentials. Naturally we've built the Smuggler to fit perfectly to the lines of the FJR to create an integrated, factory look. Slick details pick up the details of the bike and lend a bit more flair. Our patented molding process and exclusive materials create a part with very minimal variation from piece to piece so we can design a precision fit to the bodywork. Both the Smuggler trunk and passenger seat include brackets preinstalled so they're ready for immediate installation.
Smuggler's capacity of 12 liters helps to keep all your essential gear handy. That's more than enough room for keys, maps, spare gloves, cell phone, PDA, bottled water.... there's even enough room for your digital camera. You'll find the Smuggler so convenient that you'll be getting stuff out of it every time you stop your bike. Naturally it comes fully finished and prepainted to coordinate with your stock paint color so the looks are spectacular right out of the box. Inside, the trunk is lined to protect your cargo.
Corbin Smuggler and Rear Saddle have been redesigned to work with the Yamaha Rear Rack / Top Case Mount.
Saddles use our exclusive high-density Comfort Cell foam that allows us to build a supportive saddle without a bulky shape. Corbin's Wizards are masters at combining form and function into a saddle that makes you as happy to look at as it does to ride on. On top, we include genuine leather seating in choice of styles for looks from outrageous to stealthy. Shown here, both saddles are pictured with Black Carbon-Fiber leather seating, Matte Black vinyl sides, Chrome Welt and Black stitching.
Need more options? How about a variety of finishing plate styles for the rear of your Ovalbac backrest! Our standard styles are ABS models in a leather look, Carbon-Fiber look or primer if you'd like to have it custom painted. For just a little extra we can provide one prepainted or a chromed steel model. On the model pictured on this page, we show our standard leather look backing plate for a subtle look.
Want locking storage, but have a passenger too often to use the Smuggler? Corbin's glovebox is an excellent solution for all your quick-access stuff. Simply replace the finishing plate on the Ovalbac model backrest and you've just added four liters of locking storage capacity. It's plenty for a couple bottles of water, cell phone, spare gloves, maps and other incidentals. Constructed of durable ABS plastic and available plain black or prepainted.
Smuggler is constructed of our durable Fibertech material for a fine finish and long term durability. The door opening is fully weather stripped to guard against foul weather and keep cargo dry. Locking door keeps things secure and simple to access. Our new stainless steel hinge mechanism allows the door to open very wide to keep it out of the way when stowing your gear. Includes bump pad in choice of materials to coordinate with your Corbin front saddle.
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!

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.

The Corbin front saddle is NOT height adjustable. Instead, we've made the saddle with the best ground reach possible and designed it to fit perfect with the Yamaha bodywork. The plastic installation bracket used with the stock unit will not be used with the Corbin saddle. Mounts just like stock on your stock key lock with brackets preinstalled.
Rear saddle and Smuggler mount just like stock with brackets preinstalled. Latching is secure with your stock key-lock.
Corbin saddles and Smuggler trunk will work in conjunction with your factory seat components if desired. Smuggler does not fit with the newly redesigned Givi topbox hardware.
