GEL saves your ass from HELL
Firstly either find an upholsterer that has done work on bike seats or a custom bike builder.
secondly, get them to remove an inch and a half or whatever of the foam from your seat and replace it with a dacron wrapped gel pad. the dacron is softer than foam and is what is used in cushions and settees etc ( make sure you show them EXACTLY where on the seat you want it, we all sit in different places on our bikes. what was good for me, was not good for my mate, and vice versa.
your bum bones will be forever grateful and you will no longer walk as if you need a bucketful of preparation H.
I did just this on both my XV1600 wildstar and my Super Tenere and the difference was life changing!
cost? about £60 but it would have been worth double that! the Tenere went from being a "90 mile before i need to stop desperately or im gonna die" type of saddle to a "oh, is that the reserve tank running out of fuel already??" type of bike.......
