Default Driver Backrest for 2012 Switchback

I am looking for a driver backrest for a 2012 Dyna Switchback. I have a two up seat with no slit in the seat so I will need to modify it by cutting into it. What backrest is the easiest to install and still looks good?

It won't work by just cutting a hole in the seat. The seats designed for the backrest have an internal bracket that holds the backrest in place. Otherwise, it'll just flop around.
