Corbin Introduces Fleetliner Saddlebags for Polaris Slingshot
Hollister, CA – Corbin’s Fleetliner bags were specifically designed for the Slingshot to emulate the visuals of the bike and integrate perfectly. Notice how the lines and details of the stock bodywork have been incorporated into the design of the bags and they give a more balanced aesthetic. These new Fleetliner bags offer a whopping 104 liters of storage with both bags combined. For those not yet committed to the metric system, that equates to over three and a half cubic feet!
Fleetliner saddlebags are specially engineered for each vehicle so they fit the profile perfectly, like pieces of a puzzle. This enables the bags to carry the weight of the contents closer to the centerline and maintain a good center of gravity. Another benefit of Corbin’s design and mounting system is a smaller overall width for less wind resistance. You won’t even notice they’re back there when riding and they remain stable at all speeds.
Because the Slingshot doesn’t lean in corners, Corbin was able to make these bags larger than their typical Fleetliner bags… approximately 50 liters per side (left saddlebag holds more than the right saddlebag for shock clearance). Since all of the saddlebag capacity runs inboard, you must take care when running a larger tire/wheel combo. The Corbin R&D team left enough clearance for a 305 series tire which is more than you can put on a stock rim. If you go with an aftermarket wheel, be sure the offset is correct so you won’t face a rubbing problem with the tire on the saddlebags.
Fleetliner doors secure with a double latch to assure they won’t pop open accidentally and the latch release is lockable to secure your gear. In addition to the large body area of the bags, Corbin built a pouch into the doors to keep smaller items easily at hand. Doors are made with thermoformed ABS for durability and a clean finish.
Both bags come fully lined to protect your cargo and are fully sealed to guard your valuables in bad weather weather. Installation on the Slingshot is fairly simple and Corbin supplies all required mounting brackets. Saddlebags are constructed of our roto-molded polyurethane material and come to you prepainted. Saddlebag bodies and brackets all come painted in wrinkle black to blend with the Slingshot chassis and lower plastics. Saddlebag doors come color coordinated to your OEM paint.
Included with the saddlebag set is our rear fender / splash guard that is an integral part of the setup. The fender component is a heavy duty ABS material in a mock Carbon-Fiber pattern to give it a sporty look. Corbin’s fender works with the license plate light transferred from you stock fender. The Corbin fender installation is a required component of the saddlebags.
Installation is relatively simple and does not require welding or chassis modification. One of the stock plastic underbody panels will need to be modified during installation. (Drilling and cutting template supplied) All Corbin brackets bolt to stock locations on the Polaris chassis.
