Benlari Rider Backrest for Harley Touring (1997–2024) — Black Adjustable Detachable Lumbar Pad, Waterproof PU

Benlari's adjustable detachable rider backrest is a bolt-on lumbar pad designed to add support and comfort to one-piece slotted Harley Davidson Touring seats from 1997–2024.

If you ride a Street Glide, Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King or other Harley Touring model with a one-piece slotted seat, this backrest gives your lower back more support for longer rides while remaining removable when you don’t need it. Built with a steel frame, waterproof PU cover, and resilient foam, the pad folds forward for passenger access and includes upgrades like a small storage bag and headphone jack so you can keep essentials close by on the road.

Will this backrest fit my Harley Touring seat?

Benlari made this pad to work with Harley Davidson Touring models that use a one-piece slotted seat from 1997 through 2024. It is not compatible with trikes, 2021-and-later FLH models that changed mounting systems, or two-up seats that require a different attachment method.

• Fits: Street Glide, Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King, CVO Touring models (1997–2024) with one-piece slotted seat
• Not fit: Trikes, two-up seats, and certain 2021+ FLH variations
• Quick check: look for the one-piece slotted seat mounting slot

How does the Benlari backrest improve comfort on long rides?

The pad uses a soft high-elastic foam core shaped to support the natural curve of your lower back, reducing fatigue without adding bulk. The PU leather cover sheds water and cleans easily, while an A45 steel frame provides stable push-back support that holds up under extended use.

• High-elastic foam conforms to lumbar shape for pressure relief
• Waterproof PU leather resists stains and weather exposure
• A45 steel frame for strong, reliable support up to 300 lbs

Can I adjust or remove the backrest as needed?

Yes — the pad offers multi-directional adjustments and simple removal. Three vertical positions (up/down) and four horizontal positions (forward/back) let you dial in the most comfortable placement, and the detachable plug-in design allows quick removal for solo riding or storage.

• Three vertical / four horizontal settings for personalized fit
• Detachable plug-in mount for easy on/off changes
• Fold-forward function helps passengers mount and dismount

What durability and extras are included with the backrest?

Benlari upgraded the torsion spring system to flexible torsion springs to maintain elasticity longer than old-style tension springs. The finish is tested for adhesion and scratch resistance, and the whole assembly is rated to support riders up to 300 pounds. A storage pouch and headphone jack come with the unit to keep small items accessible.

• Flexible torsion springs for longer-lasting rebound
• Rust- and scratch-tested paint and materials for durability
• Includes storage bag and headphone jack for convenience

Who is this for? Riders of Harley Davidson Touring motorcycles who want a removable, adjustable lumbar pad to reduce back fatigue on longer trips. It’s best for owners with one-piece slotted seats who prefer a simple bolt-on solution that offers multiple adjustments, robust materials, and a few practical upgrades like a storage pouch and audio jack. Not recommended for trikes, two-up dedicated seats, or certain 2021+ FLH seat systems.
