I recently made a trip from Port St Lucie Florida to Lincoln NH (for Laconia Bike Week) via Pittsburgh, PA and back. I rode over 850 miles the first day, and home from Pittsburgh the last day (1070 miles...long day!). My F6B is a 2015 basic stock bike with a Memphis Shades "Hot Wing" attachment to the stock windshield. No seat mods.
Now for the part of getting more butt comfort. I wore a pair of bicycle riding shorts by Canari that I bought in Sports Authority. They have a gel padding incorporated that helps keep the hot spots down, at least for me... I just bought the bike in April and this was my first really long trip but hopefully won't be my last. It also was my first long ride with these bicycle shorts.
I don't know if these bike shorts will work for you or not, but they are a cheap investment. If they can work for those guys riding on those skinny little racing bicycle seats, there must be something to it... IMHO of course.
