Default So me your street glide backrest

I found a great deal on a street glide backrest the only problem is it's std height. I wanted the short but the std is a good deal so can you post a pic of your backrest so I can see what I can live with

Initially I wanted short until seeing on bike @ dealer...sits too low on rider. You're better off w/standard height b/c it's more comfortable for passenger.

While I wanted the short H-D version, I ended up with the standard height as my passenger wouldn't last long with the short buried in her back. Hard enough on longer rides. Bikes covered up and it's snowing out so no pics right now.
