Default Rider backrest options for 2014 FLS?

I am having a hard time finding an option for a rider backrest for the 2014 FLS. Does anyone know of an aftermarket manufacturer offering a solo seat with rider backrest for the 2014 FLS? Or pehaps know of a way to add/fabricate a lumbar back rest to the stock solo seat? I've come up empty...
Thanks!

I know of two just off the top of my head....

LePera also has a solo seat, in several styles, that can have a rider backrest...

Mustang also has a few styles of solo seats with a rider backrest.

Thanks, LePera doesn't make a removable driver backrest and, per a phone call this morning, "will not be taking any custom orders at this time". Too bad, those seats look pretty nice. Mustang, however, does have one that might work. Thanks!!!

I have two LePera seats. One on my '01 Springer and one on my '16 bagger.... I bought both for their looks, but am very pleased with their comfort. They are a firm seat, but comfortable. And very well made.

I have not owned/used/ridden on a Mustang seat, but they have a pretty good fan base themselves....

Here is something you might want to investigate/research....

IF you can easily switch to a Deluxe or Heritage seat, you can add a
backrest to one of those from Grasshopper Limited....
