Does anyone recognize this type/model of a seat? There are no markings or logos on it anywhere. The only numbers are the stickers on the wiring harness. All my searches with these numbers led nowhere. It does have a on/off switch.
I would like to wire it to the bike but have no idea as to the required amps. 20251209_192736.jpg20251031_174919.jpgAny ideas? TIA

If you have a multimeter just measure the resistance. V=IR or I (amps) = V/R. You have 12V.
 
If it is a Corbin, Mr. Google says -

Corbin heated seats typically use a small fuse, often a 7.5 Amp Mini Fuse, and draw a relatively low amount of current, working with your bike's electrical system through a dedicated harness and a fuse tap, usually connecting to an ignition-switched fuse slot for automatic operation with the key, but you'll need to check your specific model's install guide for exact fuse size and connection points (like a 10A or 20A ACC slot for constant power.
 
I don't think its a Corbin, quality is just not there. It feels very very nice though. Thanks for the replies, any pointers for the wiring? Things to look out for?

It IS a Corbin, the pan and passenger backrest identified it.
However, it looks like it’s been re-covered.
Years ago, when Corbin was still in his trailer, the quality was outstanding! Now his storefront is an empty building, with several computers, you look up what you want, and order it.
Can’t try them anymore for fit etc.
They are also being farmed out to somewhere else.
That is all I will say about that.

I'm guessing a Corban saddle.

You're correct, it is a Corbin. I have a Corbin for my V65 that is in the same style though obviously different fitment. Corbin also uses their own heavy seat pan unlike a lot of custom seat makers.

I went to his warehouse/garage to get fitted, and it was an interesting operation. The final step in seats manufacture is to spray a fine oil on the vinyl and wipe it off. I wasn't crazy about that but it didn't stain my cloths on the ride home.
 
One could always to a ride in to his factory in Hollister California. https://www.corbin.com/ Years ago I was out at Marina California visiting my folks. Hollister was only a few miles down the road. I did a ride in with my ST1100 and they made the seat for me in a couple of days. Rode back from Marina, picked up my new seat and then rode home to Colorado. They even mailed my old seat back to me.

That's what I did.

It took maybe three hours to make it. Had a good time talking to a couple of guys. One had a 650T Seca. I don't remember the other's ride. It was a fun day.

Electrical accessories are fused to protect the wiring. If you can't find any specs look up the seat's wire size in an automotive electrical chart that specifies maximum amperage for each wire size. Use the fuse size specified to wire up the seat.
 
What does the wiring look like?

Is there a connector so you can take the seat completely off or just the wiring from the seat? Picture of the connector?

Go to the Corbin web site and ask?
