But after about an hour or so I'll start to get a hot spot on the top front portion of my head just above my forehead.

Obviously the bike has to be right and so does your equipment. Especially if you're going to do something like the SS-1000.

Any suggestions? Obviously, I can't keep going out and buying $400-$600 helmets just hoping one doesn't hurt my head after 2 hours of riding.

Thanks in advance!
Some of the interior pads of your NeoTec are replaceable with different thickness ones. I had to get thinner cheek pads so I didn't get squeezed to look like a chipmunk. Other than that it fit great and is really comfortable. Not sure if all of the pads are replaceable but it's worth a look into the owners manual.
