That is one of the setups I have for my 85 FXWG. Mine is the Vintage solo and removeable passenger pad (although mine does not have the optional studs and conchos) designed for the 84-earlier shovels. cut the forks off the front nose of the seat pan and bolt in on using the well nuts in the frame. I did the same with the Cobra solo and thinner passenger pad. The gunfighter is made to fit the 85-86, and has good rider back support, but the tapered rear section would suck for a passenger.

And that's the truth!
BH is comfortable on the front - on the back, I'm good for awhile (longer now than at first). Even the advertising for the gunfighter says that it's good for "short passenger trips". They ain't lyin'!!!
I do love the way the seat looks on the bike.
