Default Driver back rest for Heritage

Looking for a driver back rest for a 2015 Heritage. What to look for, what kind of mounting systems are out there. Pictures would help.

I've posted this many times..


I took the **** poor stock pillion seat and made it into a Rear Bib and Backrest support..
Its not a seat,, it's only for my SOLO riding and having shattering L-3 yrs ago it's great for the Long haul trips I take....

All the above was After I got the wife the HD Touring Rear Pillion Seat,, which is 2'' tall and 3.5'' wider.. Most we need the 2'' taller seat as she had a really bad tailbone injury in her youth... As she only weight's 120 the 3.5'' wider is just a plus...

Here's a pic of the stock pillion seat I cut down to make a rear Bib and 7'' Back support for me on long trips... and it Freaking Fabulous,, No back pain with it at all.




I had it cover and added spots to match the bags...
here's a more of the top view..




Heres a total top view...

I just completely replaced the seats with one that came with a rider backrest

Look at a Corbin seat. They can accept a rider backrest.

I also picked up a Kuryakyn Cruise Arm Mark IV for letting me stretch my legs out on long rides. Low profile highway peg system.
