A little off track, has anyone tried the beaded seat pads. The ones I have seen are wood beads that cover the seat. Supposed to be better air flow and eliminate pressure points.

Gel seat foam and having seat re-shaped is the way to go - or there's always the budget route, $9.95 at Walmart...

I have an Airhawk seat cushion that I use on my Limited when we're touring. My @ss would get sore after about 150 miles prior to using the Airhawk. Since I got it I've done multiple 400-500 mile days with no discomfort. It's fairly expensive for a seat cushion but I would highly recommend it. I've tried the gel pads and found the air cushion to be much better... for me anyway. Your mileage may vary.
