The most obvious is to buy a Russell seat. It WILL solve your problem. Pricey but worth every $$$.

If you still have the stock seat--(were they still made by Corbin in '95--my '92 has a very comfortable Corbin)--consider going back to the stock seat and lowering the bike instead. You'll be amazed at the handling improvement just by dropping the suspension by 3/4 inch using a Progressive rear shock and slipping the front forks up in the triple clamps. Mine is now set up that way and it's lower center of gravity versus the centerline of the axles makes it incredibly more responsive to ride--I can flick it around on the road like I never could before....so you get a two for one deal--more comfort and a new, more responsive bike! :clap

You may want to try a installing a gelpad. I modified my stock BMW low seat , by carving it out and installing a 3/4" gel pad into it , overlaid with 3/8" memory foam. Materials cost about $60 , improvement as the saying goes "priceless". A great upgrade for long trips.
