Default Harley Back rest

Hi all,
I have a detachable sissy bar backrest but its way to small. I'm trying to find a taller one with a pad that supports the passengers back more but I cant find any that would fit my bike with the detachable parts. I found a bar thats 14 inches tall but it wouldn't fit my bike. Does anyone have any idea what could work best?

year and model of your bike might help us a little bit more to go on.

Other than Kenner's backrest, which I think would be great if may wife wanted a higher backrest, this one is pretty good. I'm honestly not sure if this is a H-D one or aftermarket one as I can't see one from H-D with the side reflector on it.
