They have the two hole pan (which is what you see) so just tell them thats what you are looking for. They might have your model on the chart as something else?
As for the cost:
Bare Bones: $200.00
Gel: $87.00
Diamond stitch: $45.00
White Piping: $10.00
I opted out of the gel. This seat is a little on the firm side but comfortable, a softer durometer foam could possibly break down quicker due to the cell structure of the lower density material hard to say which seat wears better. The real question is the UV stability of the vynil? If its automotive grade it could fail at 30,000 langleys or go all the way to 100,000...who knows. I wont park mine in the sun all day either way.
One thing I can say is you will feel the road more and this is a fact.

If you're goin with a bare bones and it's in your budget, I'd get it. I have it in mine and it feels pretty comfy so far, but I don't have that many miles on my ride since all the mods and I've never really compared it to a seat without the gel.

Congrats.
They did my seat below for my bagger in leather with the flame stitching.
No gel. it's breaking in more and more.
I also love the fact that the seat pans are steel.
