older units were made of steel ... the newer units are stainless ... you can tell which you have with a magnet ... the magnet will stick to the steel version and not the stainless ...

also ... l noticed with the mounting bracket which attaches to the seat base ... the ears on the backrest base plate that the knurled screws tighten down on need to be bent up a little so that the backrest base plate actually sits flush down otherwise there will be a little extra flex ...

I don't know how I missed this thread earlier!
I just called and left a message...hopefully get a call back.  I'm looking for my SG as well as for the Wife's new FLD.

Spoke with Lonnie @ Grasshopper personally after several tries to contact him.  Think he works off his cell so he is not the easiest to speak with personally.  Ordered framework only for my 2016 SG and purchased seat matching pad from HD.  Only took a week to arrive in Canada.  I am very happy with the final product and it is stainless.  Flex is not bad at all and everything fit as expected. Chrome pad cover came with the HD backrest pad.  $75 to my door here in Canada.

 Looks like it leans forward to me. Anybody know if it does and does it straighten when you lean on it?

It does flex about 1/2 to 3/4's of an inch when you lean back.

I called Lonnie because I only wanted the frame work and that was not an issue with him.  All contact info is on their site,

I did not buy the padded backrest pad from Grasshopper as that is what they are refuring to when they say studded or not.  I got my pad from HD to match the seat.

^^^ My dealer actually had the CVO pad in stock (actually two since I bought a passenger one as well). Just waiting for the bracket, and I will also report back.

Just got the backrest in the mail and put it on with the CVO pad. I have not ridden it yet, but it went on perfectly and it feels good.
