I think I found the comfort I was looking for...

I bought the Travelcade Gel seat from JC Whitney for $240.00, free shipping.  Good thing I don't ride 2-up, because the rear seat requires grinding and such to make it fit.  I left it off.  At first I wasn't crazy about the conches& studs, but they've grown on me and fit the "tribal" flame theme of my bike as I think about it.

I also "jacked up" the front from about 1 inch to 2 inches.  It makes a positive difference.

This seat is a good 2-3 hour comfort seat.  Maybe even longer.

I have an AirHawk small pillion seat cushion which I plan on using for really long rides.
