You can get 'em for $150 delivered from 
<http://www.cyclestuffusa.com/airhawk.html>. I paid about that at the 
last motorcycle show. And, they're going to work better than atomic foam.

Atomic foam is certainly better than the stock foam, but good seat 
design is more than just foam type or shape. It involves how the cover 
stretches from the weight of your ischial tuberosities (ITs) and whether 
you'll bottom out when the bike hits a bump. Skinny folks like Brian 
place much more pressure on their ITs and need a different kind of seat 
than chubbier folks like me. :-)

Motorcycle Consumer News had a great article on seat design in the 
December 2002 issue.
