I always refer people to Corbin, it's what I have. Their seats ARE
more expensive but well built with good materials. You'd probably
have to spend around $200-250 for their solo saddle and then ride it
about 1,500+ miles to get it broken in. You may be able to find it
"on sale" at one of the distributors this winter. Unfortunately the
break-in will stay take about 1,500+ miles.

I've ridden up to 835 miles in a day and never got a numb butt. Most
people that claim to have ridden a distance have never gotten close
to 835 miles. I was on my way to 1,080 miles and an Iron Butt
qualifier but ran out of daylight and into rain, hail and high wind
in an August thunderstorm.

I learned that to make a trip like that you have travel around June
21st and be riding east to west if you want the best possible riding
conditions.
