Default Detachable backrest question

I have an '04 Road King, and in order for my wife to be comfy, she needs to move back about 2 inches on the seat. Does anyone know of a detachable back rest that will allow her to move back? Taking off the backrest is not an option. Maybe modifying the location of the docking hardware?

Thanks!

Tim

I saw a post on here, not too long ago that showed an after market backrest with a **** on the side to allow for adjustment. I looked for it but have not found it yet. The guy had said it looked like a wagon wheel on the side of back rest, but allowed for adjustment. I don't know what kind of adjustment.but maybe will help.

The **** backrest is on EBay.
It basically adjusts the angle but not movement back.
A fellow rider got one for a Dyna.
Quality was different/lower than HD back rest.
