Default FLHT backrest ?

new to the board, Howdy.

wanting to put a backrest on my 08 FLHT and need input. Looking at the standard height backrest 52933-97B, will it work well with the stock seat ? basically, will it extend over the seat enough to provide passenger support/high enough ?

any pics will be appreciated too

thanks

DK
