Default Taller Passenger Pillion

I have a drag specialties Solo seat with their passenger pillion. My Fiance is only 5'2" and cannot see over me on that seat. Is there anyone that makes a taller passenger pillion?

My 2 cents, but are you (and her) sure that she wants to sit high enough to see over you ? She's gonna get a lot more wind, bugs, rain, etc. I like the protection of sitting behind DH especially when windy, raining, etc. It does take some adjustment of looking around his head (especially when we wear helmets), but I'm along for the ride, love watching the scenery and I can look ahead, just not straight ahead.

Ya, she wants to be able to see over my shoulder a little. I'm 6'5" and she cannot see a thing. We have a custom chopper that she can see just over me on and she likes that.
