Default Driver Backrest

Anyone know of either a HD or after market drivers backrest that will fit an 07 Heritage Softail, the only one I can find on the HD site involves buying a whole new seat, which seems extreme if all I want is a backrest.

I have a backrest from FireHouse Custom that only fits with the stock seat and pillion (will not fit with aftermarket seats and pillions). It is very comfortable and costs @ $115 without studs. With studs it is @ $165. It does move you forward an inch or two.
