My problem with long distance riding isn't "monkey butt" although I have experienced that, and it's not fun. My problem is the ache in the tailbone that starts to happen after a couple of hours in the saddle. My experience with seats on the TBA and on other bikes is that a disproportionate amount of the riders weight is supported in the center of the seat, right under the tailbone, while the glutes are hanging off the side.
The Corbin works for me, in that it's a firmer material, so that I get more support from the outside of the saddle, meaning that more of my weight is carried on the glutes, which can handle it better than the tailbone.
I had the same experience with my BMW. The stock seat was too narrow. I found some kind of aftermarket touring seat in my mechanic's garage that had a very wide profile, and it was much more comfortable.
I know a number of people who ride Honda cruisers, and they all are happy with their stock seats. These seats are wide and firm compared with the TBA's stock seat.
