Default Passenger backrest

I'm looking into a new Ultra Classic and was wondering if there's different options for the backrest? My wife is short and with the standard backrest her arms are up high and not down like a normal armrest where she would be comfortable. Just checking all options.
Thanks.

I have seen kits to make the tour back slide back but never lower. But maybe. Call the dealership you are going to buy from. They can walk you through your options.

To add to this, you may need to raise the passenger footrests up also....

We put these on for my wife. They have 3 different height settings. The chrome brackets are nice and I don't think they detract from the look of the bike when I don't have the armrests installed.

My wife is about 4ft 10in and 95lbs. We use the adjustable passenger pegs and she has no issues with the arm rests.

Should have added what I had put on, cheaper version than others posts. Worked fine.
