    Just purchased last week a leftover 2014 standard and ordered the back rest and center stand. The sales mngr calls a couple of days later asking if I still want the Honda line accessory backrest, coz it will be $740 because its no longer offered as a complete accessory unit, you'll have to purchase the items individually. So, I'd say its no longer available

    Add any brackets or deck panels you may also require.


    OR give a call to your local Honda dealer parts dept.

    I love the google.
    The price on the parts are ridiculous. If I want to get the parts for the back rest, it will cost me more than $400.00. I can't believe they have discontinued the actual back rest. I called Honda direct line and they told me after they checked, that it was discontinued due to discrepancies between Honda and the backrest manufacturer.

    Seems to be still available as a complete kit for 399.00 new.

    I was told by Honda I couldn't buy whole passenger floorboards for the B, and that I had to build them from individual parts but I found a Powersports shop in Toledo that still sells and ships through ebay. I just used the alternate part # for the Valkyrie to find them. The stuff is out there it just takes some detective work.

    Ok I understand, you are 5/5.

    While it may be discontinued there may be sources around that still have stock, like the ebay re seller for example..that's all I wanted to point out.

    Best of luck.

    According to my Honda sales manager....The backrest has been discontinued as an accessory unit, you can still purchase all the components separately but the total cost is over $700. As far as sourcing out one at a dealer, already tried that nationwide and came up empty. eBay, Craigslist for a used one perhaps. Apparently Honda and the supplier of the back rest are having unresolved issues providing the back rest as a complete accessory unit.

    I'm not sure what it will end up going for, but for what it is worth...
