I have the gel seat on my street bike and the stock seat on my track bike. The gel seat is great, unless you live in a really hot climate. The gel gets very hot sitting in the sun.
The Tech Spec tank grip will make a huge difference in your ability to keep the weight off your wrists. You should be holding yourself up with your core muscles in your stomach, back and legs and not allowing weight to rest on your wrists. The ability to grip the tank with your legs is a must. Weight on the wrists will not only be painful, but it will put unwanted inputs into the bars, which can lead to some cornering problems later on down the road.
Enjoy the new bike...
