I have a touratech one. It's good for at least three hours in the saddle.

Cheapest option is usually to have a local seat specialist restuff your original one...

Change the seat, modify the existing seat or use an Airhawk. Checkout this thread.

Just ridden one of these 21000 miles on pretty much the "Long Way Round " route London to NY via Siberia. Used an Air Hawk - no Beemer bum at any point on the journey. Maaaarvellous.

Ray de Vries is a motorcycle seat specialist in Holland. He made one for my X-Challenge which is really awesome. 7 months on the saddle, often 12 hour days ... no problems.
