Just an FYI... I don't know about using these without also doing clip-ons. They will change the orientation of your body, which will affect how you feel in the saddle.
When you do clip-ons plus rearsets, your whole body rotates forward but the relative positions of hands, knees and feet stays pretty much the same as stock. Do clip-ons alone and you're scrunched up more (feet and hands both relatively far forward). Do rearsets alone and the opposite happens.
Personally I found the ergos of clip-ons plus rearsets to be superior to the stock riding position, because the combo gets the weight off your butt. I never, ever got a sore a$$ after making the switch.
You do need to learn how to hold yourself up without resting all your weight on your hands. Lean on the tank, use your core, etc. I liken it to riding the bike like a jockey rides a race horse.
