The normal heat kit for me on an ST1300 is smart wool socks, synthetic shorts, shorts, airmesh over pants while sitting on a bead rider. Last week I took off the bead rider and was surprised how much hotter it was. So in conclusion, the bead rider seems to be the way for me to stay the coolest below the waist, I will try it without the bead rider again with the normal kit, however I am pretty sure the bead rider is the reason everything else works...
