Default Seat help please!!!

Just got a really great and cheap seat off Ebay. Its a 51649-07, king and queen, and it came off an FXSTC.
In my stupidity i did not check the sissy bar specs and the rear fender mount is too wide. It is over 10" and my bike, an FLSTF, needs something around 8" wide.
I am really good with mods but not sure what my options are. Can i get another sissy bar to fit my specs and this seat, if so what would i look for.
Or is there standoffs that would work and still be strong enough???

Thanks
