Purchased this seat for my Tiger 800 three months ago.  It is black with Red Welts along the seams.  It has an opening in the rear portion of the seat to accomodate a backrest for two-up riding.  This opening is covered by a leather flap that is secured by velcro.  Corbin recommends that the seat should be broken in within 2000 miles, but I may have 1000 miles on the seat at best.

I have the original box that it arrived in with all the original packing material.  I had to wait 8 weeks for the seat to be completed and sent out to me.  Please read the original description by Corbin below:

 

Corbin's Canyon Dual Sport saddle design for the Tiger converts your stock two piece seat into a very comfortable two-up saddle. Designed to maximize comfort and usability while providing a custom look and longer riding range. Corbin saddles are shaped to provide contoured support that lasts all day and will become your favorite accessory the first ride out.

This seat provides platforms that offer an increased area of body contact to give excellent weight dispersion and eliminate hot spots. Neutralized to curb the tendency to slide in the saddle which will greatly reduce fatigue. The shaping of the Corbin saddle relieves centralized pressure and supports from the sides instead. We build the saddle up with our exclusive Comfort Cell foam for a firm, supportive ride that lasts. Comfort Cell will support you for years and will provide a personalized fit after break in (approx 1,500 miles).

Another benefit of neutralized seating is that it creates a nice back support area for the rider. Notice how the step in the saddle gives both platforms a level posture and also creates five inches of lower back support for the rider.

Accepts an optional removable backrest for your passenger to add more comfort and security. Corbin’s backrest models install with a single screw and adjust easily to your copilot’s riding posture. We have several models of backrest available to suit your taste and the amount of support needed. Our Ovalbac model #02-SB (shown) also has backing plate options for a custom look and makes a great handhold for your passenger.

Covered using genuine leather for a perch that breathes with your body. Our quality leather will break in along with your foam for a luxurious ride. Just make sure you care for your saddle with a quality conditioner like Corbin's Saddle Cream. For this model we've used black carbon-fiber leather in the seating with asphalt vinyl sides for contrast.

As an added value, Corbin's Ovalbac backrest models have a custom finishing plate option included at no extra charge. We have a standard leather-look plate (shown), a Carbon-Fiber look or you can even get a finishing plate that is paintable if you want to have it matched to your bike by your favorite paint artist.
