Id say a combination of glue and staples stretching it around to the back would be the best idea, no matter how good the glue it always starts coming off if its on its own.

I used the 3m stuff the same as in the link jacktar posted. Holds good enough for me to rip the seat material whilst stretching it over the base. [B)]

Wetsuit material from Clark rubber. $6 a square foot and easy to stretch evenly and staple at the back no glue needed.
I did the front seat of my GSXR with some softer foam and it's very comfy (doubles as a pillow at rallies).
