If you really want to make it comfortable, get yourself a Russell Day Long seat. It was the very best mod to my bike. I tried several aftermarket seats and Russell tops the list.

Chinese raisers are just as good but buy some stronger bolts. Again from the same country, peg lowering kit. Both can be bought for under £70.
