I'm a bit lighter but I was very unhappy about my saddle comfort as well. I decided to be cheap about it and ordered several of those gel-cushions from RevZilla. Tried several out to find the best feel and then returned the others.

Because the RX3 transfers quite a lot of vibration to the saddle from both the road and the engine (at higher RPMs), the gel dampens vibration and makes 4-6 hour days on the highway bearable. Its also very good for off-road if you catch an unseen bump or your legs get tired from standing on technical stuff. Its certainly not as attractive looking, but can be removed quickly because it attaches via a sling with a Velcro strip, so whenever I leave the bike parked I peel it off and throw it in my box. I also don't use it in rain because it will take forever to dry. But if you are camping it makes a fantastic seat for those who think that traveling with a camping chair is ridiculous.
