Default Seat/Backrest Softail Deluxe Question

I am sure this is something that has been addressed before and maybe someone can point me in the direction of that thread, but I looked for quite a while with no luck so I amasking thequestion myself.

Does anyone know if there is someone out there that makes a drivers backrest for the Softail Deluxe that can be used with the stock seat? I have a Sportster that I put a Mustang seat on with the DBR and I love it, and the seat on the softail is comfortable enough that I don't want to invest in another mustang at this point in time so I was looking for a more inexpensive solution to adding a backrest.

Any and all suggestions, comments, or direction is greatly appreciated.

There are a bunch of threads about different backrests.... I went with this one. A springer low backrest with the springer seat rail... the rail can be found at most dealers, but the backrest is discontinued and can be found on Ebay, but is becoming very pricey... I can dig up the part numers if you want...
