Default Slipping and Sliding

I am hoping to find a solution to my slidding back on my seat problem. If I get after it I slide back until i touch the rear seat. I need something I can put back there that isn't an eyesore or a different seat as my butt doesn't come close to filling the stock one. Any suggestions?

Are you wearing textiles? I find I slide around a bit when wearing my waterproofs suit does this, leathers are fine though.

I am usually wearing either slacks for work or jeans and have the big red camaro beast for the rainy days, which are thankfully few and far between. I slide in everything I wear. I'm a pretty light guy too at about 59 kg...pretty sure if i hadn't put a wind screen on my bike I could have flown away if I opened my jacket, haha!

Seriously though, I saw a seat on somebody's picture that had a little something extra that made the seat shorter from front to back...it was on a blue bike, but I have no idea what seat it was.
