Stock Road Glide seat might be good for you. A Sundowner seat would suit you good, but the passenger area would be really wide and might look out of place on the FLHX

I run a Sundowner on my FLHX, and yes without the detachable TP or my wife on it, it looks too big. I switch back to the stock seat when riding solo.

I called Corbin and had them custom make a seat for me. I wanted to go back 2 inches, it's perfect.

I still need to get a tour pack relocator kit from George Anderson to give the wife a bit more room, it's on the wish list.

Maybe talk to Mean City Cycles, they may be able to modify your seat to what you want.
