Get a sheepskin for your seat. I was skeptical at first but for over a month now, we have had temps in the high 90's and several days over 100. We rode yesterday, the temp was 102 but my seat was dry as a bone. No more damp butt and no more monkey but!!
Looks like you hit a chow and it got stuck to your seat...

i just got back from a 3200 + mile ride and the only thing i used that really seemed to help was gold bond ultimate cream, i would like to get a mustang seat for my 05 ultra. but the tube of lotion did seem to help a lot
I picked up a sheepskin from Alaska Leathers. I was skeptical that it would make much of a difference; however, it did. Cooler and dryer now on those hot days. Plus, no more scorched bits after the bike has been sitting in the sun.

I do get a lot of looks with it! I call it my "PIMPHD" when I have the sheepskin on the seat. I'll live with the comments as long as my butt stays dry and the monkey butt stays away on these 100+ degree days!!
Well, I am going to add my experiences as well. About 5 years ago I was sitting in my doctors exam room. It was at the end of the day and I was the last patient. My doc is an older rider as well. He was asking me if I was going to ride up to Sturgis next month and I told him what with the heat and everything I just could not stand to ride for over an hour or two. He said "You get the Monkey butt"?
"Yes" I said. He laughed a little and said to try what he does, as he used to have the same problem.
"Go by the sporting goods store or Walmart and pick up a pair of spandex compression underwear or bicycle shorts". Then go to the diaper department at the drugstore and pick up a tube of ointment that has zinc oxide in the ingredients label. Rub the zinc oxide on your tea bags and *** cheeks. That cures about 97% of the problems" in babies and grown men" he said. I was kind of desperate so off to the local Walmart I go. Ten bucks for the spandex bicycle shorts and about four dollars for the tube of baby chap cream and I was out the door. I was kind of skeptical because I, like many here had tried everything in the book including spending hundreds on a new seat, all to no avail. The zinc oxide works and it costs a hell of a lot less than anything else I tried. Sometimes the easiest fixes are right in front of us and because we are looking for an expensive cure, we never try the cheap fixes.

Agreed - Warm in the winter and cool in the summer!
As far compression shorts, I can't see how all of that snug material could be comfortable, but to each his own. All I know is that the OL & I go commando (jeans & the sheepskin) and we've rode 8 hours in 90+ temps and neither of us have ever gotten monkey-butt.
