R 18 Transcontinental & R 18 B

Corbin Australia has taken the touring quality comfort to the next level with our ergonomic sculpting and wide supportive bucket shaping. Notice how the shape of the seat is lowest in the center which relives central pressure from your tailbone. This shape is contoured out to cradle your body and disperse weight over a greater area. This all adds up to comfort and support that will keep you in the saddle long enough to use up that fuel tank!

We have the option of electric seat heaters built into our saddle. Front position is operated with the BMW’s built in controls with the passenger heat operated by a switch on the left side of the saddle. To add a touch of class and conceal the heating pads, we use a tasteful twin stitch pattern in a Stealth style in the leather seating areas.

This seat model also works with an optional removable rider backrest in the front position for additional comfort and support. We offer multiple backrest models to choose from including our new Ovalbac #BR model shown here. Backrest support hardware is built into the saddle for a very clean look.

Corbin backrest is easily adjustable to rider posture without removing it from the saddle and comes upholstered to coordinate with your Corbin saddle.

All Corbin saddles are built up with our exclusive Comfort Cell foam. They may feel firm at first, but they break-in to your body and provide lasting support for years… firm is a Good thing! We’ve also neutralized the seating posture to curb sliding in the saddle and have provided ample room for you to move fore and aft depending on your riding posture.

Both saddle and backrest include genuine leather seating areas that conform along with the saddle for perfect break-in. We use leather in the seating and coordinated vinyl side panels to complete the custom look while keeping the saddle looking sharp and the foam shape crisp. Shown here with Black Natural Grain leather seating panels, Black sides, Black Stud Bands, White welts, Black stitching and Silver Corbin logo. If you’d like to coordinate with your OEM trunkrest, choose grey stitching and no welt.

For a final bit of customization, you can choose from a variety of backing plate options for your Corbin Ovalbac backrest. We offer a standard leather-look model or can provide a Carbon-Fiber look model at no extra charge (just be sure to specify). We also offer backing plates paintable or even prepainted gloss black for just a little extra.

Saddle installs easily with a tongue in the front and a single bolt into a stock location at the rear. We recommend removing the lower trunkpad when installing the saddle to make it easier to reach the rear seat bolt. If you opt for electric heat, we include the required wiring pigtail and all other components will be preinstalled in the saddle.
