Benlari Rider Backrest for Harley Touring Bikes — Black Detachable Adjustable Lumbar Support

Benlari Driver Rider Backrest is a detachable, adjustable cushion that bolts into one-piece slotted seats on Harley Davidson Touring models (1997–2024) to add lumbar support and passenger convenience.

This rider backrest is engineered for Harley owners who want a simple upgrade to improve comfort on long rides without modifying their bike permanently. Designed to fit one-piece slotted seats on Street Glide, Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King and similar Touring models, the unit combines a high-strength steel frame, resilient foam pad and waterproof PU cover. It’s tool-friendly to fit and tune, folds forward for boarding, and includes small extras like a storage pouch and headphone jack for practical use on the road.

How does this backrest improve comfort on long rides?

The pad uses high-elastic foam contoured to support the lower back and reduce fatigue during extended trips. The ergonomic shaping and shock-tolerant construction help stabilize posture while riding, so you feel less strain on your lumbar area.

• High-elastic foam for cushioned support
• Ergonomic curvature that cradles the waist
• Waterproof PU leather for weather resistance
• Built to carry up to 300 lbs for secure support

Will this fit my Harley Touring model and how adjustable is it?

Benlari’s backrest is made to work with one-piece slotted seats on most Harley Touring bikes from 1997 through 2024, excluding trikes and some 2021-later FLH models. The unit offers multiple height and fore-aft positions so you can dial in comfort for different riders and luggage configurations.

• Compatible with Street Glide, Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King, CVO (1997–2024)
• Three height positions for up/down adjustment
• Four forward/back positions for personalized fit
• Not intended for two-up matching seats or trike conversions

How easy is installation and everyday use?

Installation is straightforward and designed for bolt-in mounting on a slotted one-piece seat—no major seat modification required. The backrest folds forward so passengers can mount and dismount easily, while internal torsion springs replace weaker tension springs for longer-lasting rebound.

• Detachable plug-in design for fast install and removal
• Folds forward for passenger access
• Durable torsion springs to prevent sagging over time
• Comes with detailed instructions and a compact storage bag

What materials and durability features should I expect?

The frame uses A45 high-strength steel for structural integrity, finished to resist corrosion and chipping under normal use. The pad cover is waterproof PU leather that’s been adhesion-tested to stand up to rain, sun and abrasion, making it suitable for year-round riding when cared for properly.

• A45 steel frame for high load tolerance and rigidity
• Waterproof PU leather resists peeling and scratches
• Paint- and rust-resistant coatings for longevity
• Rated to support approximately 300 lbs safely

Who is this for: The Benlari Driver Rider Backrest is intended for Harley Davidson Touring owners who ride two-up on a one-piece slotted seat and want an easy-to-install comfort upgrade. It’s well suited to commuters and touring riders who value lumbar support, quick passenger access, and rugged build quality without permanently altering the bike. Avoid purchasing if you have a trike, a two-up matching seat, or a 2021+ FLH model not compatible with slotted one-piece seats.
