You may want to occasionally bump this thread. I think it’s going to be a while before the manufactures are convinced there will be a big enough market to justify the up front cost of developing products.
That was me. I ordered a set of those and the Knee pads too. I'll report back when I have them in hand... I've been getting a 2-3 week turn around on parts coming from there. I got a little ripped on in the ADVrider forum. But I don't really care. I've gotten plenty of crap parts from Aliexpress, BUT, I've gotten some rediculously nice machined parts from there too, as nice as I could hope for really. Nice 6061 parts with first class machine work. So if these appear to be made well, I'll try them out, if they look like junk I'll pitch them in the trash and eat my $50. I had ordered the Tall risers from HD but it was going to be mid July I think was the estimated date back in stock. So I cancelled that order and bought these.

I asked to be notified when available so I'll update when I know anything else.
I know Rox has a great reputation but I've never been onboard with the whole clamp in a clamp thing. But, they are popular.

I had a set of knee pads on a Sportster Roadster that looked everything like the ones from HD except no HD logo. I'm sure they came from the same place as Harley's. Had some Rox on my last GS. The good thing about them is you can fine tune the handlebar fit with them. They were solid and never moved. Let me know how those risers work out please.
Nothing in stock but it looks like they're working on it.
Nice though that they've identified the parts they are going to make right away. Those hand guards and engine guards look like they'll end up on my bike if they make it to market.
I installed the Rox Risers, couple minor issues...
1. these were designed for the Indian so there is a 1/4" gap, the post is just a tad short. Still over an inch of clamping surface though so pretty much an aesthetic issue. The top Rox clamp has full clamping area, taper on bars is well past clamp.
2. another aesthetic issue, the bars bend up before the end of the clamp. Not a big deal to me.
3. the HD top clamps overlap the risers, not sure why HD did this. I never noticed it until I swapped in the Rox Risers.
4. you can't run the Rox Risers straight up and down, they need to be forward or back of center so you can torque the bolts (I'm told this is a common issue, moot for me as I wanted mine back a tad anyway)
5, Rox tech support is awesome! I've been on the phone and in email contact with them.
6. Pan America version IS in the works but if you can't wait like me, these will work (only Aluminum color available now, Black will be about 6 weeks.
Bottom line, I prefer the Rox over OEM. I like the ability to move forward or back from center, more adjustability is better for me and I can see the entire screen.
