For your seat - try the Beadrider first. It's least expensive and for many including me very effective even on thrid party seats.
Guy on the Vstrom forum could not do 200 miles on his stock seat. I suggested the Beadrider and he grabbed one....turns out the company is based near him.
He got an immediate improvement and a few days later started out on his Key West to Alaska and back jaunt.
He'd picked up the Beadrider on the way to Keywest and liked it.
Waited out a couple weather days and then promptly did 1,000 mile days back to back as his first two Alaska days. Swears by it....thousands of others do as well.
I have a Terry Adcox which I can do reasonably long days on.....I can do longer days with the Beadrider and did back to back 1,000 km days with it on the Burgman.

I'm in Australia but if you are heading out on a long ride let me know and Andrew can lend you - it's 30 seconds to put on and off. Will need a couple days notice to find it.
It's the best place to start.

And thanks to macdoc for suggesting the beadrider seat cover! I was able to complete two back to back unofficial Iron Butt rides the first two days of my northbound journey- Deland to just east of Indianapolis the first day, and then on to Fargo, ND the next day. Over 2,000 miles in two days. Without the beadrider,,,no way!
