A bike is not a couch, and while many touring bikes sport comfortable butt-holders, long road trips can seriously infringe on one's ability to sit anywhere at all. You can shift position some over the long haul, but it's a little restrictive where you can go, obviously.
A seat pad can make a big difference. Pro Pad's ProGel SuprCruzr is made for big bikes with big seats. 16" wide and 17" long, it's designed for such as Goldwings, Road Kings, Valkyries and Intruders, etc. The fabric model is black quilted nylon with purple stitching. The gel inside the pad is a medical grade of polymer and is the main ingredient in making this pad a comfortable place to park it.
Clips in the back of the pad anchor the sides, and an elastic strap keeps the front in place. Underneath, the pad is a non-slip material that also won't damage the stock seat. Installation and removal are easy and quick.
At about a hundred bucks, this isn't a cheap fix, but it's also not an exorbitant price if it does the job. And Pro Pad has a 30-day money back guarantee which should give you enough time to figure out if this is what you need.
The SuprCruzr also comes in smooth leather and black sheepskin models, and Pro Pad also makes a convenient removable gel pad for those wet weather days.
And your glutes just might appreciate it to the maximus.
