+1 on the Corbin seat. The flat passenger section is much more comfortable for them since the curve of the stocker starts acting like a wedge after a while.

good luck getting a corbin seat. i hear they are rapidly sinking, and are failing miserably at that whole customer service aspect of running a business. for reference, i have 10 unreplied emails, and 10 unanswered/unreturned phone calls.

my wife and I have been experimenting

a neoprene sleeve, biker shorts make the stock seat bearable for a couple hours.

lower foot pegs are next on the list.

Have you checked out these? http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/MFW-1/Controls/MFW-1.html
They also come in a 50mm version - might be too much stress for them to be safe (?), but the 30mm are reported to be strong enough to stand on.
I know the passenger pegs are different from the rider's, so make sure you get the right part # IF you choose these.

I just ordered and received the triboseat mentioned earlier because I had a passanger fall off last summer at low speed too.  Just a few scrapes but now she's practically sitting in my back pocket when she rides with me.  I haven't got it installed yet but just feeling it it is REALLY sticky.  A lot like one of those pads you put on the dash of a car to set a cell phone on that won't slide off.
Only issue I foresee is the passanger will have to stand up on the pegs to move around at all because it is that sticky.
