The one that came with my bike I believe is a low profile. Look in my sig link at the pic of the bike when I first bought it. Had a few passengers that do not mind it. My gf rides with me all the time and I offered to get her a taller one but she says she likes this one. She is smaller at 108 lbs so that may or may not make a diff...

The Badlander seat may be a bigger issue, not much padding from what I recall...
