I have plenty of 'natural' padding in the arse area but a good pair of
cycling shorts with suitable padding will make all the difference, and
it's tons cheaper too boot.  You might want to try that before stumping up
the cash for a new seat.

I have found that better pants make a bigger difference than any seat.
When I have the insulated liner in my Olympia Air Glide pants, I can ride
fro MUCH longer in comfort than without.  
 
I have posted this before, but I have tried the Corbin, the Sargent, and a
custom Sargent.  The two Sargent's have the place for tools under the seat
- the Corbin does not.  I found the Corbin to be the hardest and worst of
the three.  I've had Corbin's before too, and while the do break-in, I
don't feel the change is drastic.  If I were to go with a pre-fabricated,
I would get the Sargent WorldSport.  But for a similar price, you can send
Sargent a stock seat pan, and get a custom.  That's what I have now after
going through the pre-fabricated ones, and it is by far the best.
 
Any other specifics of comparing the stock, Corbin, Sargent, and Sargent
custom, feel free to ask.  Been there - done that.....

I agree!  I put a Sargent seat on my ST ~6,000 miles ago and don't 
regret it one bit.  Of course I also wear motorcycle shorts when I go 
long distances.  I have a few pair of these and am quite happy with them.
