They help... still scared the crap out of myself on the Buell at the track once the tires got really hot. I've since gotten better at throttle smoothness, still far from perfect.

I dislike the tippyness of the PP's when I first put them on the Buell. Aggressive geometry and PP's profile not the best for street riding. After about a thousand miles of slab riding they were more manageable.
I really liked the overall feel of the Corsa III's, but didn't like the lack of wear.
