There are so many different versions of these pads. AirCushion, gel and so on. About 4 years ago I picked up a gel "Butt Bun" while I was in Sturgis. It changes the ride quite a bit. What I've done over the years on long trips is ride without the pad for the first tank of gas. When I stop for gas (160-180 miles) I put the pad one...then the next stop I pull it off...and so on. You get the idea. Recently when I'm riding with others I let them use it between gas hops.
You could let the wife ride it for a while, then you use it for a while........
They are kinda spendy (mine was $85.00 three years ago)......but I think worth it.
Then you could ride along saying "I'm gel'n, you gel'n ?"..
