Default Passenger backrest options

I am just about ready to pick up the docking hardware and detachable backrest and luggage rack for my 08 EG. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other options other than HD $450.00 set up. Sure would be nice to pick up something a little more reasonable. Thanks

You can do fixed mount for a bit less. The two docking kits are around $100. Yes, you need two. Kuryakyn has a lot of nice stuff, also look at jpcycles.com or denniskirt.com or http://www.parts-unlimited.com/ You can not purchase from parts unlimited but you can see lots of things your local bike shop can get for you.

The one I found was a detachable backrest that has the (optional) luggage rack bolted to it so they both remove as one unit. I checked J&P, Kuryakyn and Drag Specialties. I can find a setup for softail models but nothing for Touring models. Do you know of anything specific?
Thanks
