Please Help My Bum!

I have a 1985 FXSB. I have a Mustang solo seat with a passenger pad that attaches. The seat is for a 1982 FX. The seat fits just fine. I bent down the front support on the seat pan and the other mount is two bolts that go into the vertical frame post. Ta Da! FX shovel head seats fit, now just look around and find what you want. I have an old Saddleman seat that is awsome comefortable but can't find info around on it anymore.
We've got a "Gunfighter" (I think that's what it's called) seat on that DH thinks is comfortable and we both love the way it looks; but my bum doesn't care for it much after an hour of riding...in fact my bum goes quite numb in protest! (Then I walk funny for awhile, scares children, quite embarassing)
We also have what could be the stock seat that looks like a tufted grandma couch...and like I said, I don't want to ruin our beautiful girl's sleek lines with, well, a couch! (Maybe a divan, but NEVER a couch ).
Plan for now is to wait until riding season is finished (and hunting season starts, maybe November) and then try various seats. I'm glad to know that some FX seats will work with slight modifications.
Once again, "Thank You!" to all you wonderful gents for taking the time to help my bum...gotta love Evo dudes!

Not sure if you ever found a good cure for your "bum" problem.
I can make a recommendation but you will have to post some "bum" pictures for my recommendation to be valid.
The "ButtyBuddy" device may be the way to go. http://www.buttybuddy.com/

Thanks cromagnon- just so we're clear -
NO pics of my bum will be forthcoming!
Have been riding on the "gunslinger" seat without a sissy bar all season. Either my tuckus has waved the white flag and has decided to complain is futile, or I have lost all feeling in my bum. I can ride much longer now. Am still thinking about sending the seat out once riding season is over to have it worked on. But....(butt) what if there's a REALLY nice day in February?
Have I mentioned lately how great this forum is- how awesome all the EVO Dudes?
One more time then...

We have finally fulfilled a dream...proud owners of a 1985 FXSB Low Rider! Two seats came with her, but neither is particularly kind to my bottom. Have looked around the internet, but am having trouble finding a seat that will fit. She is beautiful and I am unwilling to ruin her lines with just anything.
Is the only option a custom seat? Does anyone have any ideas? Really want to be comfortable riding longer than 100 miles. Appreciate the help...my bum thanks you too!
