I would love to find another seat too..i rode a couple hundred miles saturday to go ride the Dragons Tail (US 129) Tn to deals gap,NC...I was on the bike from 11:30am and got back to the driveway around 7:30pm....I was in severe discomfort about approx halfway thru the trip and still a long way from home and alot more riding to to do to get there....
Today I wanted to ride for a couple hours but after only 40 minutes my tailbone was screaming at me again..i drove straight home as fast as I could and parked it....ouch!!!!

Get a piece of sheepskin rug; aka Butt Pad.
I did, and was glad of it when doing the long hauls to the places I wanted to tour in Europe.

They are just so tacky looking. Corbin improves the bikes looks.

Each to their own, but to me function comes before form any day.
Having put in some high milage days getting to where I want to explore, I would rate comfort over appearance. A piece of sheepskin can be quickly had for a fraction of the cost of a $260 Corbin, and I am sure it will be more comfortable.
Plenty of tackiness on show with what a lot squidly wannabe bikers have done to their bikes from what I have seen on this forum.

260
I did 170 miles the first day I had the CBR250R and a 260 mile day three weeks later with no discomfort from the seat whatsoever. You could easily try wearing some top of the line bicycling shorts under your pants on longer rides until your butt toughens up. Much cheaper than a new seat which will undoubtedly be even more "race inspired" than the stock seat.

My experience with Corbin is that they shape where you sit differently, and use a firmer foam. About 3 hours down the road I wished the foam was even more firm. I have put the stock seat on my vtx1300c, after riding the corbin from so. cal. to Montana, and I would not ride 20 miles with that cushy piece of junk.
I did the same ride on a KLR650, with the corbin seat, much better than stock, and would go for more firm for the longer saddle times.

Go the Dude.... but my scrap of sheepskin was way cheaper, at $10, far more cute, and I reckon more practical and comfortable to boot.

Here's some that offer some real protection. No butt pad though.

Sheepskin sounds interesting. Just guessing if these from ikea cut to the shape for the seats will make a good pad. They have got them in two different textures too.

I just put a Saddleman seat on and it works great for me (TRACK-CF part # 0810-1130 from [email protected] )

nice cruiser. mustangs make perfect cruiser seats
It would be a major PITA to rework the frame for one of these, but for some reason I love the idea of fitting something like this:
