Mine are still on order also. In the catalog, it did say that at least the mounting kit was not to be available until Sept 08. And that propably really meant Oct or Nov.

I had a manual adjusting back rest on my 06 Ultra. I looked into the adjustable backrest and cost much more and they wanted 2 hours of labor to put it on. I bought another manual adjusting backrest and put it on myself. Took me about 30 min. I found that once I find the right spot for a backrest I never move it again anyway. Works great and I saved the money for other bling.

Also want to mention that they moved the the mount further back, and it is more comfortable than it was on my 07.
