Looks like it's not available until next month. It does look like a decent alternative to the HD backrest.

Just picked up a like new HD backrest, with the mount on Ebay for under a buck and a quarter. Pops in pops out no tools, three height positions and adjustable fore and aft, uses existing fender bolts and the brace uses the hole in the frame member at the rear of the battery box. The kuryakyn is a bit cheaper than new at the dealer, but there are a ton of rests on ebay
