Touring with comfort

[Bobsanthebuilder]

Hi Guys, I'm the proud owner of the 2004 F650GS Dakar. Im sure this has been asked before but here goes anyways
The advice I need is that the bike is fitted with a standard
seat but is becoming uncomfortable to ride over say 50 miles. Frankly
the Coccyx is taking a real battering now (could be my age). On top of that my wife has
now started to come riding with me and we are even talking about a
Euro tour next year. I couldn't part with my bike at any cost and
frankly I don't want to put another bike in my garage for touring either as I'm
not in the UK that often to enjoy them. So here goes,

1) Can anyone recommend a comfy seat for my wife and I? Im 6'2 and so seat height is probably not an issue.
2) Can anyone recommend a good road tyre combo (have the original
wheels and knobblies on at present). I don't do huge mileage so
safety rather than durability is my choice for this mod.
3) I'm rather interested in a 55 litre top box with integral backrest,
can anyone recommend the Givi or are there any others for less dosh?

Any other advice for long comfy ride outs and possible touring much appreciated.

Try a Corbin or Sargent seat for starters
