I don't mind taking pretty frequent stops, and anyway the small tank keeps me from being on the road all that long anyway. I just ordered highway pegs which I think will help a lot.
If anything the highway pegs will make the seat comfort worse. In normal riding position, and as long as you ride more with your toes (or the front of your foot) on the pegs, your legs will be supporting part of your weight. This then results in less weight on the seat, and the experience is actually a more comfortable ride. With the highway pegs there will no weight on your legs at all, and all of it on the seat.

Talking to others, and even recently, similar comments have been shared regarding more discomfort or unease.
It would still be convenient to have somewhere to stretch the two legs from time-to-time, but maybe that is a warning to simply get off the bike and take a break and walk around.
