Maybe you would consider getting your stock seat modified. I sent my seat to MeanCityCycles and was happy with the results. Price was right and their customer service was good. Many on this forum have also done this and I've heard of no negative reports. They have a website. meancitycycles.com

I wasted money trying to improve the seat situation (08 Ultra) by buying pads. I eventually did bite the bullet and bought a new seat (Ultimate); or, have your seat modified. I have a Mustang seat on my softail (07) and that has also worked out well.

I had a local guy insert a gel pad into my stock seat. It's good for about 300 miles, then it's unbearable.
I bought a sheepskin pad from Alaska leathers to use on long trips, and they really do work. I can now double the mileage before extreme pain sets in.

Get a sundowner seat, their way better than the stock seat and are made to fit you bike. The wife and I love ours.

I have had a sundowner on my RK. It was nice, but compared to my foam and gel stock seat from Ride and Leather, does not compare. Modified oe seats are the way to go, now that I have done it. Mean cycle or ride and leather I would recondmend.

This guy (clicky) did a mod on my stock Fat Boy seat and it was real good. He's affordable and when you contact him, he will set up an appointment w/you so that when your seat arrives, it gets worked on and mailed back w/i 36-48 hours. He was recommended to me by a friend and he seems to have a big following in the metric touring and sport-touring community.
