Does anybody make a seat cover that slips over the stock seat that is removable and most importantly is cooler to sit on? Its been hot as hell here lately and if i get off my bike for anymore than a few mins, when i get back on its HOT, really hot, even when wearing jeans.

My thoughts were a neoprene type or some kinda of other cloth cover.

I search Amazon and eBay and from what i can tell the ones i seen were meant to be stapled to the seat like the stock cover. I dont want to remove my stock cover just put something over it that may be less prone to getting as hot.

you can put any cover over a stock cover, but doubt its going to help any with heat, as the black under even a neoprene cover will get HOT
I have a neoprene cover on mine, with a camo neoprene section and it will get HOT in the sun to the point you DON"T want to sit on it, it was new and HOT now camo section has faded a LOT and much lighter in color and STILL HOT when in the sun!

might be easier to just cover with a towel when you get off and on!
when you add ANY cover, they will ALL need to be stapled onto the seat, NO one makes a cover that just slips on due to safety and law suits, as if a cover slipped while you were riding on it and you fell off they could be deemed accountable and liable , and fear law suits !

a towel is easy to do, I have done this for YRS on the farm when atv gets parked in sun often and your on and off a lot doing chores
best simplest idea I have found to work for me?
I also have a special rack on the back I can throw towel in and doesn't go any where when driving, so its easy for me
but you can bungee cord on rack to old one fast ON off?

One of the bikes I picked up a while back someone had cut a section of neoprene out of some old waders and stapled it onto the seat because the original cover was torn up.

Was soft but I imagine sitting out in the sun it would still get hot.

Use a towel like Mrbb said. That's what I've done on my vinyl Jeep seats in the summer for the last 25 years.

you can also just flip the whole seat over pretty easy and fast too, as seats come off easy?
I just find a shade tree when I park.

I agree, but far too many times when on the farm in the wide open, there ain't no shade any where
unless your bringing it ( guess you can add a roof or ?? to make seat stay ion the shade if one wanted too LOL
