Default How to make the GF happy on long rides?

Ok my GF is awesome and will ride anywhere we have to go, rain or shine. But her *** gets sore after awhile, mine too just not as bad.
So what can I do to the rear seat to make it more comfy? Couple pics from our Maine trip, stayed in Rangeley Maine for 3 nights and took rt 27 up to the border..

When I have the wife with me I make it a point to stop every 1.5-2 hours. That seems to give her the 5 minute break she needs to ride all day.

I put gel packs in both front and back seats.

Yeah we tend to stop about that time anyways for gas, I thought about some kind of pad or seat mod? don't want to add anymore height if I don't have to.

Memory foam mod from Mean City Cycles. Had that done with my super narrow and the wife likes it.

While your seats may be a problem, you will get better results still with a decent pair of shocks, so consider replacing those. We have a shocks guru who is an HDF sponsor.......
