Passenger Backrest Question

I own an 03 CVO Road King with the factory seat and detachable passenger backrest. When attached it's pretty much 90 degrees and would like to know if there's a way to tilt it back a little to make it more comfortable for my wife. CAn anyone help me with this?

Thanks

I have heard of guys bending the bar back but i have never done it....
This is a non HD option and i dont know anyone who has one but this adjustable unit maybe an option...

Do you have the short low profile backrest or the tall touring one? I have had both on different bikes and the short one is not very functional and wife complained about that one. She was fine with the tall one and it seemed to tilt back further than the short one, which was straight up and down. And also some of the different backrest pads you can change out to seem to have more recline built into them.
