XFMT Low-Profile 2-Piece Touring Seat w/ Backrest Pad - Low Ride

In this review of the XFMT Motorcycle Low-Profile 2-Piece Two Up Rider Passenger Seat with driver and sissy bar backrest pad, the bottom line is clear: it is for Harley Touring riders who want a custom low-profile look while keeping reasonable support on long runs. The seat's low-profile construction and firm foam make it sit closer to the ground and emphasize a street-rod styling, while the included rider backrest pad adds practical lumbar support on longer journeys. This review focuses on fitment, comfort tradeoffs, and the build details that matter to touring owners.

Key Features

• Low-profile design: The closer-to-ground profile gives a compact, custom bagger appearance without radically changing mounting positions.
• Durable materials: Constructed from premium PU leather, foam, iron and PP plastic, the seat is built to withstand weather and touring use.
• Diamond-pleated surface: The custom diamond-pleated seating surface with double-row toast-colored stitching adds a classic visual upgrade to Touring models.
• Included backrest pad: The rider backrest pad provides added lumbar support for long-distance rides, making extended touring more comfortable.
• Two-up configuration: Comes with both rider and passenger seats plus a sissy bar backrest for a complete replacement setup on compatible Harleys.

Who It's For

The XFMT low-profile 2-piece seat is best for Harley Touring riders (Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide from 2009-2023) who prioritize a sleek, street-rod look and want an included backrest for some added support. It's especially suited to riders who prefer a firmer, lower seat feel and a custom-stitched appearance on their bagger.

Riders who need plush cushioning for all-day comfort or owners of excluded models (2023-later Electra Glide Highway King, CVO Street Glide, CVO Road Glide, Road Glide 3, 2024-later Street Glide, Road Glide and CVO Road Glide ST, or Trike models) should look elsewhere for a different fit or softer touring cushions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong build with PU leather, iron and PP plastic for durable touring use.
• Stylish diamond-pleated seating and contrast stitching that upgrades the bike's look.
• Rider backrest pad and sissy bar backrest included, adding practical lumbar support for long rides.
• Low-profile seat brings rider closer to the bike for a more aggressive stance.

Cons

• The low-profile foam is relatively firm, so riders expecting plush cushioning may find it too hard for very long days in the saddle.
• Fitment excludes several late-model CVO and Road Glide 3 variants and all Trike models, so verification before purchase is required.
