XFMT Low-Profile 2-Piece Touring Seat with Rider Sissy Backrest - Low

In this review the XFMT Low-Profile 2-Piece Two Up Rider Passenger Seat is evaluated for riders who want a street-rod look without giving up practical touring support. The bottom line: this seat is for Harley Touring owners who want a lower seating position and custom diamond-pleated styling, with a rider backrest that helps on longer rides. The review notes the seat's firmer feel due to the low-profile design and highlights fitment across many 2009-2023 Harley Touring models.

Key Features

• Materials: Constructed from PU leather, foam, iron and PP plastic to balance durability and shape retention for regular road use.
• Low-profile design: Brings the rider closer to the tank for a sleeker stance and street-rod appearance on custom baggers.
• Diamond-pleated surface: Custom diamond pleating with double-row toast-colored stitching adds a tailored look that elevates the bike's visual profile.
• Rider backrest: The included rider backrest pad provides lumbar support for longer journeys and reduces rider fatigue on extended trips.
• Complete set: Ships as a two-piece kit with rider seat, passenger seat, rider backrest and sissy bar backrest so the bike is ready to install as a matched unit.

Who It's For

This seat is best for Harley Touring owners (Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide and similar 2009-2023 models) who prioritize a lower, more aggressive profile and custom styling. Riders planning occasional long rides will appreciate the rider backrest for added support, while those focused on show-worthy appearance will value the stitching and pleats.

It is less suitable for riders who prefer a very soft, plush cushion since the low-profile construction results in a firmer feel. Also note it does not fit certain 2023-later and 2024-later CVO or Highway King variants and Trike models, so confirm exact model compatibility before buying.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Gives a true low-profile look that tightens the rider position and enhances styling.
• Durable materials and custom stitching provide a premium appearance for the price.
• Includes both rider and passenger pieces plus rider and sissy bar backrests for a complete upgrade.
• Rider backrest improves comfort for longer rides compared with a backless low-profile seat.

Cons

• Firm cushion due to the low-profile design may feel too hard for riders wanting plush comfort.
• Some users report installation can be tricky depending on model year and existing hardware.
