Give your pillion rider lasting comfort and style with the Royal Enfield Passenger Backrest Pad, available in three factory variants: KXA00097 (Black Vinyl), KXA00150 (Brown Vinyl), and KXA00153 (Brown variant). These are genuine Royal Enfield parts (GMA / OEM spare) — identical in shape, mount points, and internal structure — differentiated only by finish.
Each pad features a steel skeleton core, high-density foam cushion, and seat-grade vinyl cover that matches the factory seat texture and finish. (The KXA00150 version is described on RE’s site as “Brown Passenger Backrest Pad … comprising a steel skeleton, a foam cushion and the same vinyls that cover the seats.”) The KXA00153 “brown backrest pad” is also listed as a genuine spare part in the Bike-Parts catalog.
These pads are designed for the All-New Classic 350 (J-Series / Reborn 2021-onwards). Installation is quick and simple — the pad secures to the backrest mounts (KXA00094)(For Classic Reborn ) (KXA00151)(FOR NEW BULLET) so it’s crucial to pair with the correct mount arms (sold separately). Real customers report install time around 10 minutes.
Choose your preferred look (black or brown) from the variant dropdown. The internal structure, comfort, and compatibility remain the same across all variants, giving you the flexibility to match your bike’s styling.

FAQs
Q1: Can I use KXA00150 or KXA00153 instead of KXA00097?
A1: Yes — they are identical in shape, size, and structure. The only difference is vinyl color (brown vs black). Choose the variant based on your aesthetic preference.
Q2: Do these pads include the mounting arms?
A2: No. These are only pad units. The backrest mounting arms (KXA00094) must be purchased separately. Without them, the pad has no anchor point.

A3: Official documentation lists these pads works for both Classic 350 J-Series & New Bullet BS6 .
Q4: How long does installation take?
A4: About 10 minutes to fit the pad to the mount arms, once the arms are in place.
Q5: Does installing this pad void warranty?
A5: No. Since this is a Royal Enfield Genuine Accessory / OEM spare, when used with OEM mount arms (KXA00094) and installed correctly, it maintains warranty compliance.
