AS someone suggested, try Mean City if you want to just get your stock seat modified.
If you want to try a new seat, http://www.ccseats.com/
Talk to Chuck and tell him what your problem is and what you would like.
I have been very satisfied with what they did for me.

Try a backrest. It makes you sit up and on your azz and not your tail bone. A Corbin seat, backrest and highway pegs fixed it for me.

Try a Mustang seat with backrest.

You might try rotating your handlebars forward to adjust your riding position a little bit. Moving your hips forward with a little bar adjustment can make a big difference, $0.00. The back rest suggestion is good especially if you also suffer from lower back pain, $400.00.

I went to a mustang seat that was 1/2 inch wider and about 1 inch taller (thicker) than the stocker and now 400-600 mile days and zero tail bone pain. FWIW.

I had the same problem and went to the Reach Seat, the trick is back support. No more problems for me. Good luck with your choice.

Backrest & bar adjustment are a big help...you want to be in a good riding position. Also, another vote for Mean City - double memory foam is like sitting on a cloud. They also work the contours so you're not cutting off circulation to lower extremeties...give them a call - much cheaper than new seat.
