Benlari Sissy Bar Backrest 26ft Integrated Passenger Backrest

Our review of the Benlari Sissy Bar Backrest finds it best suited for riders who want a simple, robust passenger backrest that fits Harley Davidson Touring models from 2009 to 2024. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a larger 26' pad with a welded, integrated frame that removes assembly hassles and reduces the risk of loose fasteners, delivering steady, long-trip comfort for a passenger without complicated installation.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Designed to fit Harley Davidson Touring, CVO, Road Glide, Road King and Street Glide models from 2009 to 2024 when vehicle model and year are confirmed.
• Larger Comfortable Pad: The 26' backrest uses a 42% larger high-density sponge to provide firmer support that resists deformation on longer rides.
• Integrated Welded Design: The rod and bracket are welded together so there is no assembly and fewer points that can loosen compared with bolt-on alternatives.
• Quick Release Docking: Rotary docking latches allow fast detachment and secure connection, giving passengers added peace of mind.
• Durable Construction: Made from A45 steel with a black glossy powder coat to resist bending, rust and scratches for longer life and appearance retention.
• Water-Resistant Cover: The zippered liner and waterproof PU leather help keep the cushion protected from the elements.

Who It's For

The Benlari 26' sissy bar is aimed at Harley riders who frequently carry a passenger and want a larger, more supportive backrest than stock pads provide. It is especially useful for families or couples who take longer rides and need a comfortable, stable support that resists deformation over time.

Riders who need exact factory-matching styling or a model outside the listed years should check fitment carefully; those wanting an adjustable height backrest or complex touring features should consider alternatives that offer those specific adjustments.
