This isn't specific for the 1000, but in general for a touring seat you want quite firm foam, and you want it nice and flat, so the whole of your butt shares the load rather than there being one wedge that cuts in.
I think I'd be likely to go for a 2, or perhaps 3 layer seat - thin gel cushion on the top (you can even buy heating elements now if you wanted a heated gel seat for the winter?), a lighter foam next and then a firmer foam on the bottom.
From what I can remember of the FZ1 seat, the reason it's just not that comfy is because it's just thin and hard!
