A couple of years ago I did a 5 week tour of Europe on an ST1300 with a Melseat conversion to the standard saddle, it wasn't too bad but still some discomfort with the 'Burning Butt' syndrome.
I discovered that the saddle had dropped on one side and so replaced it with a Sargent seat (2nd hand) but also decided that it wasn't necessarily all about the saddle but what I was wearing that may have caused the problem, so I invested in a pair of 'LD Comfort shorts'

I had a big gulp when I worked out the price but figured that for an upcoming trip to Greece it was worth a try, the result was much improved comfort even on motorways but it's worth taking a 15min break every 90 mins for fuel, a drink of water and a toilet stop (I'm old) and let the blood circulate.
Even if you decide the LD's are too pricey, try and ensure you have no seams or wrinkles in the seating area of your clothing when you ride as they will cause you true pain after an hour in the saddle!
