Most people who want more cushion on the seat go for something like this:
http://chinariders.net/attachment.ph...1&d=1561547767 The only problem is that it may raise the seat height enough that the rider can no longer be confident about foot placement when they put their feet down. I have one of these on the shelf in the garage, but haven't put it on any of the bikes in the stable yet. Another option would be to buy some foam padding material and faux leather (nogahide) from an arts and craft store and make your own seat pad. As a final option, you could buy a seat recovering kit for another bike, and adapt it out. I had the same issue with my DR650 seat, and bought a seat padding kit from ProCycle.Us and it was a world of difference. I took the DR from Atlanta to Orlando (and back, obviously) twice. Really a good investment. Hope this helps!

I use the MadDog seat cover. Much better on the rear end. lol It also breathes a little more so not so hot and sweaty. You can pick them up at Walmart.
