Honestly when it comes to seats I've had the best luck with gel. My Suzuki had a factory gel option which worked well. All my other seats I've just added the gel insert myself. I have used the Conformax, Saddleman and some other brand I just picked up at Sturgis. It does get hot when the bike is sitting in the sun, I've never found it any hotter when riding. Watch some Youtube videos on it, it's simple to install. Side cutters, Jiffy marker, side grinder and air stapler is all you need.
