Has any one modified or found a taller passenger backrest?

Mamma is not comfortable. She would like to have it 4 inches taller to fit higher up her back.

Looking for ideas.

Thanks,
Rich

You might check into a top box. SweetTennBabe has a nice one on her Touring. The backrest should be a bit taller.

OMG for a sec I thought it was a revival to a thread I started some time ago.
What I'll be doing later this week is taking my backrest to a guy that builds motorcycle seats. Will post results once done.

I shortened mine and had it powdercoated black ... just as easy to lengthen it 4 inches
