Default Solo seat with rider backrest

Looking for recommendations on a solo seat with backrest. I want something that is comfortable but is low profile. I have a 2016 Heritage Softail. Most of the reviews I’ve read about some is they raise the rider up or makes the rider sit higher.

I know I may be looking for a unicorn but seeing if there are any recommendations.

It's the "Wide Tripper", I ordered direct from Mustang to get the tuck-n-roll pattern I wanted. Very comfortable seat, small and low enough to look good.

On my 2012 Heritage I am running the OEM seat and the Grasshopper backrest. It is very comfortable and does not raise the seat up at all.

This photo shows it with the passenger pillion, but that can be removed and the riders backrest stays where it is.

I have a Mustang solo and a Mustang solo with removable backrest.
Both very comfortable seats, BUT the one with the backrest did move me Up and Forward.
So much I removed it and got a Grasshopper Backrest for the solo without the built in backrest.
And it's a lower profile. Too low and it would be useless.

Really like this setup but don't see one on their site for an 08 Heritage Classic FLSTC.
