I do like the Saddlemen seat. I did not replace my tour pack backrest to match the Saddlemen, yet, but I am thinking about it. It doesn’t bother me that they don’t exactly match - honestly I don’t really think about it.

Best of Luck

Love the way the seat looks. Talked to them today - they do not make a tour pack passenger backrest. Am a little surprised.

Maybe I will try Mustang

No idea who you spoke to - but Saddlemen does absolutely sell the Tour Pack pad to match the Lattice Stitch Road Sofa Seat - you can buy the whole thing for $300 + tax & shipping or just the cover for I believe $100 and have your Tour pack pad recovered.

For example - here is the whole pad (Fitment is 2014-2023) =

cycle7447 - If you have the option for a backrest on you saddlemen, It must be a saddlemen backrest. I have not seen any other options where another backrest will work on a saddlemen. When I added the mustand seat, I did not get the backrest, but I will be adding on shortly

What is your inseam? Height is irrelevant. I'm at 29" and have sat of a couple of Road Sofas. If you're at 31" you should be fine.

The seat is more narrow than stock between the legs, you won't notice the inch. I am your height, a friend bought that seat with the backrest while in Sturgis this year. He is shorter than I am and has no issue with the height of the seat. He loved it on the 3 day ride back home.
