Your Butt pain issue is not so much your shocks as it is your seat. None of these factory seats are conducive to longer rides for the average ass. A week after I bought my SV650 I replaced the soft OEM seat with a custom Sargent Seat. I couldn't ride more than 20 minutes with the OEM, now it hours and hours. It's actually a very firm seat which allows you to move around on the seat rather than sink into it like a couch. I've been planning on a Corbin for my Nighthawk, I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet since I only put Sunday miles on her. I'm still gonna do it, though,
Undoubtedly, the suspension on our vintage Nighthawks pretty much sucks in comparison to most of today's bikes. I'm having new fork springs built for my NH right now from Sonic Springs. They'll have a . 90 spring rate to match my weight and loading. That, coupled with 10 or 15w oil will really help the front end. The rears I was planning on running the Progressives. Suspension improvements are money well spent. You'll fall in love with your bike again!
