I notice myself loading the bars under braking. Working on technique, but wondering whether tank grips genuinely help or just cover a bad habit.

    They helped me understand what supporting myself with my legs should feel like. That made the technique easier to practice, not easier to ignore.

    Street miles, track lessons.

    Choose texture carefully if you commute. The aggressive clear type was great in leathers and annoying in normal riding pants.

    Clean the panel and warm the adhesive before installation. Rounded corners and patience keep them from peeling.
