Default SG Adjustable Backrest

Just picked up an adjustable riders backrest for my 09 FLHX. Only problem is that the hydraulic mount is a little tall for the stock SG seat. It actually is about a half inch above the seat and looks really bad when the backrest is off. Anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?

May have to leave the back rest on....My pillow look seat hides the mount and sooner then later, you will be swapping the stock seat out for a comfortable one, trust me!
