Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Brown Touring Rider Seat – KXA00074

Prepare your Meteor 350 for longer journeys with the genuine Royal Enfield KXA00074 Brown Touring Rider Seat. Designed specifically for the rider position, this factory accessory combines a bespoke seat cushion, additional lumbar support and a flatter, larger seating base to provide broader support than the standard rider seat.

Royal Enfield's 3D net seat technology is designed to distribute the rider's weight more evenly across the cushion. Additional stitching, a brown upholstery colour and an embroidered Royal Enfield logo complete the premium touring appearance.

Important: this listing is for the brown rider seat only. It is not a passenger seat and it is not a rider-and-passenger seat set. The matching brown Touring Passenger Seat is part number KXA00068 and is sold separately.

Technical Details

Comfort and Ergonomics Note

Royal Enfield describes a bespoke cushion, extra lumbar support, a flatter larger base and 3D net technology intended to improve support and distribute weight more evenly on longer rides. Comfort remains personal and depends on rider height, body shape, weight, riding posture, clothing, suspension settings, journey duration and road conditions.

• No universal comfort guarantee is made.
• No exact increase or decrease in seat height is published for KXA00074.
• Do not purchase it as a low-seat product; the dedicated Meteor low-ride seats use different part numbers.
• The broader, flatter profile and lumbar shape may feel different from the standard seat during the first rides.
• The seat does not alter suspension travel or replace correct suspension adjustment.
• Passenger comfort is unchanged unless a compatible passenger seat is purchased separately.

Installation Note

Royal Enfield lists an approximate fitting time of 10 minutes. The procedure requires temporary removal of the passenger seat and correct reuse of mounting inserts, sleeves and fasteners. Installation by an authorised Royal Enfield workshop or qualified motorcycle technician is recommended.

1. Support the motorcycle securely on level ground and confirm the package label shows KXA00074.
2. Remove the cap-head bolt from each front grab-rail mounting point using a 6 mm hex bit; retain both bolts.
3. Lift the front of the passenger seat, unhook it from the frame and retain the left and right top-hat inserts.
4. Remove the two hex flange-head bolts and two sleeves from the rear of the original rider seat using a 10 mm socket; retain them for installation.
5. Lift the original rider seat from the rear and pull it rearwards to disengage the front location.
6. Push the front of the KXA00074 Touring Rider Seat onto the fuel-tank tab and align its rear mounting points with the frame.
7. Refit the two retained sleeves/top-hat components in the specified locations and reinstall the two rider-seat flange bolts.
8. Tighten the rider-seat flange bolts to 12 Nm.
9. Refit the retained top-hat inserts to the passenger-seat grommets.
10. Reinsert the rear passenger-seat hook into the frame and align the front mounting holes.
11. Refit the two retained grab-rail mounting bolts and tighten each to 25 Nm.
12. Confirm both seats are fully located, secure and free from abnormal movement before riding.

Always follow the latest fitting instruction supplied with the seat. Stop installation if the seat base, fuel-tank tab, inserts, sleeves, bolts, grommets or frame mounts do not match the documented arrangement.

Seat Care

• Clean with mild automotive shampoo, clean water and a soft microfibre cloth.
• Remove dust, mud, road salt, fuel, oil, sunscreen and chemical contamination promptly.
• Avoid hard brushes, abrasive compounds, bleach, harsh solvents and petroleum-based cleaners.
• Do not pressure-wash close to seams, embroidered areas, the seat edge or mounting points.
• Do not use an unverified dressing that makes the seating surface slippery.
• Allow the seat to dry naturally in a ventilated shaded area; avoid concentrated heat.
• Inspect stitching, upholstery, base pan, rubber supports and mounting points during regular maintenance.
• After any fall or impact, have the seat and subframe mounting area checked before riding.

Fitment Note / Return Prevention

Before opening or fitting, confirm all four points: KXA00074, brown colour, rider/front position and Royal Enfield Meteor 350. Do not confuse this seat with KXA00073 black rider seat, KXA00068 brown passenger seat or a complete rider-and-passenger set.

The instruction applies to Meteor 350 MY20 onwards. This listing does not claim Hunter 350 compatibility. Shared engine capacity or a visually similar seat shape does not confirm that the base pan and mounting points match.

Seats are installation-sensitive and hygiene-sensitive products. Parts showing bolt marks, mounting impressions, scratches, stains, odour, torn packaging, altered brackets, road use or attempted installation may not qualify for return, subject to applicable law and the current store policy.

Record one continuous unboxing video showing the sealed parcel, shipping label, Royal Enfield label, KXA00074 part number, brown colour, complete upholstery, seat base and mounting points. Report a wrong, missing or transit-damaged item within 24 hours with the video and original packaging.
