Well, I have done the return ride, another 800km in 9 hours including stops.
The friction throttle lock combined with a throttle assist made the ride 100% on the original journey. $40ish for the two, and seconds to install...can't go wrong.
As for the arse problem, I tried a few more stops which did help a little, but the pain ended up a bit more focused in my knees for the last 200kms. Was another wet journey, with a few dropping floods, but got through ok. Lot of police about being holidays AND north bound Summernats traffic, even so, they left me alone and I was sitting usually between 110-120kmh.
As for gel, I already plan on getting one when I am in the States next month and sending it home. They look quite good with the embroided "Hayabusa".
Cheers
Troy
