Default Passengers backrest relocation

I have installed Daddy Long legs seat, and now have cramped my passenger space. Trying to find a passengers backrest relocation kit? If we could gain 2" and or a 10* recline that would be sufficient. There are loads of tour-pak relocation kits, surely someone makes a backrest relocation? I would even purchase a different backrest if that was the only option. I really dont want to, but I suppose the low-profile tour-pak and then relocate it is an option?? Suggestions?

I don't know of a relocation kit for backrest but maybe someone makes it. Harley does have an adjustable backrest that tilts forward and back. I don't have one but I've seen them. Maybe someone else will chime in about how they are.

You might get a better response if you said what year and model of bike you have.

I tried a quick Google search and found several possible options on Amazon. A rider in my chapter has the one that folds from passenger to rider backrest. He loves it but I have not tried it myself.
