Benlari Adjustable Driver Backrest for Harley Touring 1997–2024 — Height & Angle Adjustable, Waterproof PU

Benlari Adjustable Driver Backrest is a bolt-on rider backrest kit designed to add low-back support and customizable height and angle to compatible 1997–2024 Harley-Davidson Touring models.

This plug-in backrest kit replaces or augments a one-piece slotted touring seat with a sturdy steel frame, waterproof PU leather pad and multiple adapters for fitment across a wide range of Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King and Electra Glide models. The design focuses on easy installation, corrosion-resistant hardware and flexible positioning so riders can tune support without altering their stock seat profile.

Which Harley models will this backrest fit?

The Benlari backrest is built for many Harley-Davidson one-piece slotted Touring seats from 1997 through 2024, including Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King and Electra Glide. It is not compatible with Trike models, certain 2021-and-later FLH variants, 2023-later FLHFB models, or two-up seats specifically designed for passenger backrests.

• Fits most one-piece slotted touring seats 1997–2024.
• Compatible models: Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide.
• Not for Trike, 2021+ FLH exceptions, 2023+ FLHFB, or matching two-up seats.

How does installation work and what hardware is included?

Installation is a plug-in style process that uses the supplied adapters and mounting screws so you can attach the backrest without modifying the seat or frame. The kit comes with two adapter plates to cover earlier and later model mounting patterns and a sheet of instructions to guide step-by-step assembly.

• Includes two adapters (08-earlier and 09-later) to match different Harley mounting setups.
• Comes with necessary screws and a printed installation guide.
• No permanent seat cutting required for most compatible one-piece slotted seats.

What adjustment options are available for comfort?

The backrest offers multiple height positions and an adjustable pad angle so riders can position support where they need it most. Multiple pre-drilled holes in the bracket and two adapter choices make fine-tuning quick and repeatable for different riders or riding styles.

• Height-adjustable via several bracket positions for personalized lumbar placement.
• Angle adjustability to avoid pushing the rider forward while providing stable low-back support.
• Two adapters ensure a broader range of mounting locations on compatible bikes.

What are the materials and durability features?

The Benlari backrest uses a rust-resistant steel bracket, a soft PU leather exterior and a resilient foam core to balance durability and rider comfort. The pad is designed to be water-resistant and crack-resistant under normal use, and the bracket construction prioritizes a secure, non-wobbling fit once installed.

• Heavy-duty steel bracket with corrosion-resistant finish for long-term strength.
• Soft PU leather cover with waterproofing properties to resist weather exposure.
• Comfort foam that maintains shape while offering supportive cushioning.

Who is this for: The Benlari Adjustable Driver Backrest is a practical upgrade for solo touring riders who want improved low-back support without replacing the entire seat. It’s aimed at owners of compatible Harley-Davidson Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King or Electra Glide models (1997–2024) who prefer a bolt-on solution with height and angle tuning, corrosion-resistant hardware, and a compact, unobtrusive profile. If you have a trike, a non-slotted two-up seat, or one of the excluded FLH variants listed above, this kit will not fit.
