Known as "The Wizard," Mike Corbin always has something new and exciting on the drawing board at the Corbin Industries facility in Hollister , California . Recently, Mike took Brian and the crew through the facility and let them in on some of the newest developments in the range of products that Corbin has to offer.

As "The Idea Guy" himself took us through the facility we started where else? Motorcycle seats! First, Mike showed Brian the newest innovation for electronic heated seats. Then, he displayed a working model of what he referred to as the 'Rumble Seat." This seat, soon available for the Harley-Davidson Road King, Road Glide, and Electra Glide (FLH) offers the sleek look of Corbin's Gunfighter model; however, with the push of a button, a rear portion of the seat folds back and converts it to a dual seat complete with passenger back rest! Pretty cool, huh? Then, Mike showed the crew another new feature that will be available in 2004: a key lock system wherein the entire seat can be removed and then locked back into place! Next, Mike showed Brian the new series of "Chin Spoilers" for cruisers that helps to keep the bike clean and adds a distinctive appearance. These parts are available in primer or black and feature a billet aluminum grill.

Finally, for people who just don't want to give up their Corbin seats when they leave the garage, they can have them inside the house as well as Mike introduced us to the cool line of Corbin Furniture. These custom couches are the coolest thing on no wheels as they resemble some of the classiest and baddest cars that ever cruised the streets or hit the strip. Mad e from fiberglass, and upholstered in the finest leather, you can find your favorite hot rod designs including 57 Corvette or 57 Chevy (their best seller), a 50 Mercury, a Shelby Cobra (licensed by and autographed by the legendary Carroll Shelby), and the newest addition to the fleet, a Dodge Viper. All the couches are available in some of the original factory colors and you can even have some of them with flames if you like! And by the way, these couches even feature storage compartments and tail lights that work! But wait-the folks at Corbin couldn't leave out the motorcycle influence here! Also featured is a cool art deco recliner in the style and classic design of the Indian motorcycle, complete with fringe! Now, whether you are on the road or at home, you can feel the quality of a Corbin seat.
