agree, but for me they make the most difference while braking. Much less pressure on the handlebars, but suddenly one realizes what the wimpy thigh machine at the gym is for... inside of the thighs is a neglected muscle group, at least for me..

So easy to fit and amazing for hard breaking!
Heat gun or actually a hair dryer would do, 4 hands would be great although you can do it yourself. Just feel that if i had a set of hands to help me it would have been easier to get the air out directly.
Highly recommended anyway!

as killer say easy to fit ,i cleaned the paint first with panel wipe its what i use before i spray paint , then hair dryer to get things a bit warmer on the tank and the stompgrip ,, peel back one corner do not touch the glue ,, line up with some pencil marks i put on the tank , stick it down then find a plastic tool that will go between the bumps to rub it down properly ,, another blast with the heat to make sure the edges are stuck and your done :D :D :D
