Harley-Davidson Street Glide Anniversary Two-Up Seats

The film explains the Circulator seat and backrest pads as an extra layer for warm-weather riding. Their three-dimensional construction encourages air to move between the rider and seat, helping reduce heat and perspiration build-up while adding some shock absorption. The low-profile design is intended to make only a small change to seat height. The UV-stable material helps resist fading from sun exposure; these are comfort features, not a temperature-controlled seat.

The seat pads attach with an elastic, hook-and-loop strap beneath the seat and use a non-slip base to help hold them in position. The film describes a quick installation, but the strap still needs to be secured for the particular seat. It compares a medium pad, 14½ inches wide, for the original-equipment and accessory seats of the V-Rod, XG, XL and Dyna families, with a large pad, 16 inches wide, for the original-equipment and accessory seats of Softail, Touring and Trike models. The large pad excludes Bobber, sprung and Road Zeppelin seats.

The film also shows a separate wide Circulator backrest pad. Its vinyl-and-mesh construction is intended to reduce heat build-up against the back. Elastic hook-and-loop straps, a non-slip base and fade-resistant material provide the same practical fitting and sun-exposure features. It is described for wide-profile rider or passenger backrest pads up to 12 inches wide and 9 inches tall; it is a backrest covering, not the supporting backrest itself.

The exact product currently linked here is the large 16-inch Circulator Seat & Backrest Pad listing, part 51076-10. Despite that catalogue title and the wider range shown in the film, this action identifies the large seat pad only. It does not supply the medium pad, a backrest pad or an entire seat as a set. No verified current product action is offered here for those other pads. Check the selected bike and the seat already fitted, including the three excluded seat styles, before choosing the large pad.

This film compares two Switchback seat designs, each combining the rider and passenger areas in a one-piece two-up seat. Harley-Davidson presents them as a way to add a performance-inspired profile and custom detail while retaining a useful riding shape. The film’s different motorcycles illustrate the seat family; they do not make one part number suitable for every bike.

The first design uses dimpled vinyl, contrasting stitching and a raised pillow detail in the centre of the rider’s seating area. Its deep shape gives the rider a defined seating position. The matching references offered here are 52000652, 52000653 and 52000654, covering different Softail and Touring applications. Their stated rider widths are 12.2, 12.5 and 14.1 inches respectively, so the dimensions should be read for the exact seat rather than assumed identical across the range.

The U Stitch version has smooth black vinyl and a bold stitched U pattern across both rider and passenger surfaces. Multiple panels, contrasting seams and a Bar & Shield detail on the sides give it a different appearance from the dimpled design. The exact U Stitch reference linked here is Touring seat 52000757, with a stated rider width of 13.1 inches and a fastback profile. The current product specification describes the side logo as rubber.

Select the seat for the motorcycle and year shown in the results, and check any additional fitting hardware before ordering. The Touring U Stitch listing specifically notes that motorcycles originally sold with a solo seat need additional hardware purchased separately. Although the film also illustrates a Nightster application, the original tagged reference 52000655 has no current exact catalogue match, so it has no shopping action here. No unverified replacement or seat from a different application is substituted.
