There are a lot of choices on the internet.  Just need to visit any of the on-line motorcycle retailers, like Bike Bandit (http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/catalog.asp?WT.mc_id=8933&tag_removed=7&WT.srch=1&cat_dept_id=1285244&section_dept_id=1170244&submit_from_stage=10&terrain_dept_id=1275208&dept_type_id=4&WT.mc_r=2), Dennis Kirk (http://www.denniskirk.com/) or Aerostitch RiderWearhouse (http://www.aerostich.com/home.php) and search for Seat Pad.

But before you do, read up on the wide variety of seats.  Here's a comparison of Five Motorcycle Seat Comfort Pads (http://motorcyclecruiser.com/accessoriesandgear/buttpads/).

I have a sheapskin, but I figure there's something better for my rear.  (After 200 miles, my butt still needs a break).  My thoughts are that the Air Hawk is the right answer, though I have yet to try a gel seat.  Expensive?  Yes, I have yet to hear anyone pooh-pooh that pad -- a unanimous thumbs up on it.
