Front Saddle for Buell XB-9R Firebolt

A comfortable
alternative for your radically positioned sportbike! Corbin's pilot saddle for
the Firebolt adds a lot visually, but also gives you a longer comfortable riding
range. We've designed it with a concave seating surface that better matches the
contour of your body, which gives you more square inches of body contact. Look
at the difference in shape between our seat and your stock seat... it's not hard
to visualize which is a better fit to your posterior. This "ergonomic" shaping
is what eliminates hot spots and pressure points by dispersing your weight
across a greater area.
This careful
shaping also neutralizes the seating position, which means you won't find
yourself sliding towards the tank as much. Many people incorrectly attribute the
discomfort in their knees to the tight ergonomics, but in reality it is more
often caused by fatigue as you continually push yourself back from the tank. By
eliminating the downhill slope of the stock seat, we relieve much of the stress
on your knees and wrists. Again... longer riding range!
Inside the saddle
is our exclusive Comfort Cell foam that is nearly twice as firm as your stock
cushion. By retaining its resilience, Comfort Cell can support your body weight
and give you support all day which is why we always say "Firm is a good thing!"
This picture also shows how the refined shaping of the Corbin seat provides
support for your body even under your legs. All told, our saddle gives you
nearly twice as many square inches of body contact.
On top we use
genuine leather for a totally custom look and a platform that breathes with your
body. Naturally we offer you a wide range of leather styles and colors to choose
from. To go along with the sportbike theme of the Firebolt, we suggest our
Carbon Fiber laminated leather seating with coordinating Carbon Fiber embossed
vinyl sides. Vinyl side panels help support the foam shape and keep the saddle
looking sharp longer. Leather seating will break in along with the foam shape to
provide a personalized fit over time. Be sure to care for your leather saddle
properly with a quality conditioner like our Saddle Cream.
Corbin's patented
molding and manufacturing process provides a precision fit to the tank and tail
section while saddle rides on rubber bumpers to protect the bike's paint. For
you rider's that have problems with the seat height, we've built this model as
low as possible considering the chassis geometry. Our platform height sits right
at 31.5" which is the lowest possible seating without compromising comfort
value. Installation is simple and just like your stock seat (detailed
instructions below).

Special Notes and Info
Seating: Approx. 13" wide x 12" long
Approx Height: 31.5"
Corbin's front saddle comes
ready to install on your bike with necessary brackets pre-mounted. The only
thing you will need is a Torx wrench (#27) and some mild grip thread lock
compound. The most common we've found is the blue Loc title brand.
Installation: Simply
remove your stock seat by lifting the rear corners and taking out the two
Torx head screws that hold the seat to the chassis. Slide it towards the
rear of the bike and remove. To install the Corbin saddle, reverse this
process by sliding the Corbin seat into place positioning the tongue of the
saddle into the clip on the frame. Now lift up the rear corners of the seat
and secure it in place with the two stock bolts through the Corbin bracket
and into your sub-frame. We recommend using thread lock on these bolts to
assure they will not accidentally back out and torque them to 5.5 ft/lbs
unless specified differently in your owner's manual.
