Looks like a seat grab bar. Other than that, no clue.
Good luck.

Default rail

Jokr, its for my 05 deluxe. I bought it thinking it was a HSC rail but its different. I hope to get it to work but looking at it I will need to modify it. The rear pillion cant go on with that bar because the two mount holes are inside the rail. The rear seat slides on to the hold-down *****/nuts so the rail would be in the way.

It's from V-Twin maunfacturing "Chrome FLST" seat rail." PN 31-0514. 2008 catalog, page 1181. Fits 1987-99 stock seats. I have one on my 04 Fatty, with some modifications.
