can anyone recommend a seat for a Dyna Switchback which is designed to reduce pressure on your tailbone? I find the stock seat is comfortable for about half an hour, then I start having to shift around. I tried a "Reduced Reach" seat from Harley which was even worse due to firmer padding. the stock seat is otherwise fine in terms of cushioning and shape.
Saddleman RS Explorer. w/or without backrest. Seats are specifically designed to eliminate this issue. Absolutely love mine!!!! So far the longest I've been able to try mine out is 2 hours but have had zero discomfort. The stock seat had me in agony after 40/50 miles. I also have a very bad back.

If you like the looks and positioning of the stock seat you can have it reworked by Mean City Cycles. (www.meancitycycles.com). They will rebuild the cushioning using memory foam and gel while cutting a tailbone relief to alleviate your problem. Nice people and a decent value. Check out the website and give them a call.
recently tried a danny gray TOURiST that I picked up on the forum here
without a doubt the most comfortable seat I ever had on this bike, was looking
for rough roads and small holes for testing and barely felt them...
UNFORTUNATELY they are not made for shorter people and the seat pushed
me too far back from the controls, bars could be fixed but the cost of modifying
the foot controls was beyond what I am willing to spend to have a comfortable
seat..
if you have an inseam of 31+inches I would suggest trying a danny gray
