BMW branded passenger backrest?

I’ve been looking for a more affordable backrest and found what looks to be a great one at “Road Styler” but they are from Poland so I’m not sure about tariffs and duties. Roadstyler.com
I also looked and liked the 'Roadstyler' but they quoted me 6/7 weeks delivery and we are taking a trip into northern France in 5 weeks. Duties? I think the Roadstyler is manufactured in Poland so no import duty to pay as they are in the EU but VAT will apply.
I purchased a Motea ( Craftride) back rest and rack. The quality is ok but fitting was a pain!! The frame mounting points were 4-5 mm wider than the bike. I used some of the original saddle bag fittings to get the job done. I placed a review detailing the error but to date it's not viewable on the Motea web site.
No surprise there😂
 
I had a sissybar made in a small workshop here in Mexico with faux leather generic bags for the odd time I will need/use them. Total cost MX$ 9,000 (US$ 500) the lot..

The reason for the tape measure is Tom Hurley in Scotland is making me seat replacements and sissy bar back pad.. (soon)

I went the Wunderlich route and bought their upgraded passenger seat, sissy bar and cargo rack. Classier and more natural lines than anything else on the market.
Don't decorate a piece of art with hard angles, the Wunderlich is a very natural and fluid design. Yes it's expensive, but there is nothing better IMHO.
