Wife and I do about 25k a year on trips. I have done all sorts of mods over the years to different stock seats, memory foam etc.
About a year ago I got an air hawk. Amazing. It ain't pretty, but before after about 6-8 hours in the saddle it was no longer comfortable...not so anymore.

I have the wallet answer - for the past 11 years, I have stuck with the nylon version of the Aerostitch 'world's thinnest wallets' - no more back pain attributed to the wallet. Just passing along what works...clicky here

On my '02 RK I tried a Corbin, and a Mustang. Ended up with the stock seat now for over 30K miles, including more than a few 1,000 mile non-stop rides. Works for me. Now, on the new SG, I'm not so sure about that seat. I'll try another one, but it definately seems harder and overall honestly, the bike so far isn't as comfy as my RK.

I agree with you. Sometimes it concerns me about the new generation riders complaining about every little thing about the bike. I do appreciate all of the new features and creature comforts, but would still ride with no complaints if I had to go back. I will have to admit that I like the newer bikes because I can still travel distances like I was still in my 20's.
