Back Ache
Think its a two part problem. Position/Distribution to remove back aches. Then seat comfort to remove ass aches. I don't get back ache anymore but I can get ass ache after a while, usually sorted after a quick stop for gas.

Would be great to have a massage seat
 
Spot on my friend I'm going to try what you did think good idea

I can take it - Pile it on

But no. Motorcycle Seat Pads - Dan Medica South Ltd

tbh - The softer 3D mesh used in their treatlite2cushions is probably what I would use if I redid another seat.
I have one of their "trucker" cushions made from the same stuff and it is better than Air and Gel.
I think this is what a few M/C mfrs now use in OEM "comfort" seats - seen quite a few saying 3D mesh.

The harder OVERSEAT hard 3D mesh covers are (imo) better than bead covers - I've tried both.

My R3 seat now has 37mm of Gel inside and a hard 3D mesh over. I reshaped it to get position right It keeps me to the rear of the seat. And it also has a backrest. But I'm fussy.

 
Great post, I'm going to have a go at adding gel layer during the cold February weather in uk. Will also look at the 3D covering. I have the original old seat (not worth much) so not overly concerned about damaging it. got to break some eggs to make an omelette
 
If it hasn’t been said, exercise off the bike is a must as well to strengthen the stability muscles. I was developing bad lower back ache from too much time in a car and sitting at a desk. Lumbar pillows only got me so far and my riding was getting affected. After a few weeks at the physical therapist to address some T-band issues we focused on stability muscles. Been incredible.
