I've heard of guys putting the green powerbands on the handlebars. Usually gives the bike more of a top end hit. If you are looking for lower rpm range torque, I say you put the orange powerbands around the footpegs.

Oh, if you want to put a band on the gears. I totally recommend the very durable Red Powerband.

No you should not put an aftermarket powerband on a bike that does not have one to begin with. Doing so may cause the piston return spring to stretch, and thus making your bike slower than when you started. Also adding a powerband makes your bike rattle much, much more and it tends to wear out the muffler bearing. I went through 3 bearings after I put on a thicker powerband.
