BEADED SEATS
How many of you use a beaded seat? I sometimes have right hip soreness after about an hour. I talked to someone on a Ohio Spyder ride, and he had a Beadrider.com seat, and said he loved it. Kept him cool, and if he felt an ache, he just shifted his position a little and seemed to help. Also, do sitting on beads, cause lasting impressions in the seat or damage it in any way? I would like feedback before I order, and what brand do you have.
Beadrider.com comes in either wooden beads, or ceramic.

I have and use my beads for my bike
I had them on my H-D and they work well for my RT. They actually do help you keep a little cooler down there and alleviate any sweating that you might otherwise be dealing with. Big thumbs up from me ..!

Also to answer your question about damaging the seat or leave any lasting impression-no. Your seat will go back to its original state after some time and there shouldn't be any lasting effect.

Do you not like it? Was it bought for a RT Spyder (dmension wise)? How old is it?

I just don't use them since I am comfortable on the stock seat. Yes, it fits the RT perfectly.

14 x 14 is the size I bought for my '13 RTL with the stock seat, WORKS GREAT, already done an Iron Butt SS1K on July 5th (1000 miles above 90 degrees all day) with it, did a 1700mile 2.5 day trip with it, my riding buddy with a '12 stock seat faired not so well. Wished he had one himself.
Doesn't hurt the seat, can go under or over my Ultimate Seats Ride-On Raincover just fine.
Safe Rides,

Cool but more slippery
I use the Beadrider in the summer; in spring and fall, no beads. BRider keeps cooler tail and seems to allow you to shift pressure point, as there is more structure.
Biggest issue for me is slippery surface, beads would not be so good for agressive riding in the twisties. But, very easy to install/remove while on the road.
Looking at the possibility of a non-slip coating.

Butt Hurt
Had it, sold it. My advice, buy it cheap, this way when you sell it you'll cry less. The Airhawk is the only butt hurt reducing cushion I will ever love.

I had the plastic version vs. the wooden ones. It helped the soreness but I felt that I was going to slide off the thing on sharp turns. I ended up sending it back.
Just my bad luck.

not
knocking the beaded seat, but slid around too much on it. A cheap gel seat from cycle gear works good for me
