Street Glide Seat Fitment Buying Guide
Quick Answer
Finding the right Street Glide seat starts with three things: your exact year/model, how you ride (solo or two-up), and whether you need a rider or passenger backrest. Street Glide (FLHX) seats share the same mounting platform as Road Glide, Road King, and Electra Glide — but year ranges, exclusions, and mounting hardware vary by SKU. Always confirm the exact fitment on the product page before ordering.
Use the fitment finder on the homepage or any collection page sidebar: pick your Make → Model → Year, click Go, and browse seats that match. Then refine by configuration, color, and price.

Does This Guide Apply to Your Street Glide?
This guide covers Harley-Davidson Street Glide models. Street Glide seats share mounting platforms with other Touring bikes (Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide), but not every seat fits every Street Glide year. The main chassis generations are:
| Street Glide Model | Years | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Street Glide / Street Glide Special (FLHX / FLHXS) | 2008–2023 | Widest seat selection; most seats cover this range. Check product-specific exclusions. |
| Street Glide / Street Glide Special (FLHX / FLHXS) | 2023–2025 | New chassis; one-piece and gel seats in the SC60 / SC232 series. |
| CVO Street Glide (FLHXSE) | 2009–2025 | CVO-specific fit on some SKUs; check product page for CVO compatibility. |
| Street Glide ST (FLHXST) | 2022–2025 | Performance bagger; check for any model-specific notes. |
| Earlier Touring (FLHX) | 1997–2007 | Classic body style; dedicated 1997–2007 seat range (SC56 series). |
If you’re not sure how to read the year range on a product page, start with the Harley Seat Fitment Guide — it explains how title ranges differ from fitment ranges and what exclusions mean.
Choose Your Configuration: Solo or Two-Up?
Before picking a specific seat, decide how you ride:
- Solo (rider-only): One-piece or two-piece seats that prioritize rider comfort and a stripped-down look. Best for solo commuting or styling.
- Two-Up (rider + passenger): Seats with a dedicated passenger section. Available as one-piece (seamless) or two-piece (convertible to solo).
- Convertible two-piece: The rider section installs alone; the passenger section clips on for two-up rides.
Not sure which is right for you? Read Solo vs Two-Up Harley Seats — it breaks down size, passenger comfort, backrest compatibility, and real product examples.

Rider & Passenger Backrest Compatibility
Backrest fitment depends on the seat type, not just the bike year. Check these before ordering:
- Rider backrest pads (e.g., SC231-01-BK-RP2, $79.99): Fit most 2009–2023 Touring seats. Some require an HD OEM seat or a specific slotted seat design.
- King Tour-Pak / trunk backrests (e.g., SC52-34-BK-KP, $159.99; SC52-16-BU-KP, $260.00): Fit 2014–2025 Touring models with compatible tour-pak mounts.
- Extra brackets: Newer models (2023+ CVO, 2024+ Touring) may require an additional support mounting bracket — check the product page Notes section.
Tip: Product pages do not display compatible accessories. If you’re unsure whether a backrest fits your seat and bike, contact support at Support@customchrome.com for a fitment check before ordering.

FAQ
Do Street Glide seats fit Road Glide, Road King, or Electra Glide?
Mostly yes — seats in the 2008–2023 Touring range are designed to fit across the Touring family (Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Electra Glide). Always confirm the exact model list on the product page, as some SKUs have specific exclusions. For a Road Glide-specific walkthrough, see our Road Glide Seat Fitment Guide.
What’s the difference between a one-piece and two-piece Street Glide seat?
One-piece seats are a single unit — simple, secure, and no removable sections. Two-piece seats (like the SC231 series) separate into rider and passenger sections, letting you convert between two-up and solo riding. See our full Solo vs Two-Up comparison for details.
Will a 2008–2023 seat fit my 2024 Street Glide?
Not automatically. The 2024+ Street Glide uses a newer chassis. Look for SKUs explicitly listing 2023–2025 ranges (e.g., the SC60 and SC232 series). Using the fitment finder with your exact year is the safest way.
Do I need extra brackets for a rider backrest on my Street Glide?
Some backrests fit standard Touring seats directly. Others require a specific seat design (e.g., slotted seat) or an additional mounting bracket, especially on 2023+ CVO and 2024+ Touring models. Always check the product page Notes section or contact support.
Can I install a Street Glide seat myself?
Most CCI Touring seats are direct bolt-on replacements using the factory mounting points. No drilling or modification is needed for standard applications. Two-piece seats require aligning both sections during installation.
Is a CVO Street Glide seat different from a standard Street Glide seat?
Most seats in our Touring range fit both standard and CVO Street Glide models. Some premium SKUs (like the SC52 CVO series) are specifically marketed for CVO applications. Always check the product page for the exact fitment list.
