Love'em. They take on a nice patina and hold even more grip in the cold and wet.
I suggest first wrapping the bars with some cheap cork wrap (I use this stuff for $9) and then sewing the leather grips on over it. The leather is cushy, but thin, so if you wrap it over the bare handlebar you won't get much vibration dampening or cushion. The extra-layer of cork wrap really makes it a lot more comfortable to ride with. Wear some work gloves when you do the sewing though since you'll have to pull the thread tightly to get the leather to stretch.
Here's a set I did a month or two ago (left is after an application of sno-seal).
i bought these cause a friend of mine uses them. but i'll definitely look into these!
