I've not been able to find much information aside from the Shimano dealers docs on how to setup the new R8000 front and rear mechs, normally it would be a problem because as long back as i can remember setting up Shimano road front and rear mechs has been almost identical, that was until i bought the R8000 groupset.
At the weekend I removed my perfectly working Ultegra 6800 and started to assemble the R8000 only to be totally baffled by amount of changes to both the rear and front mechs, after googling for videos and reading the docs, I still wasnt any the wisers and about to bail to the LBS option, but then I found this super detailed easy to understand video for the front mech setup

I'm sharing it here in the hope that anyone else undertaking the same upgrade might find this thread.
I've not yet found one for the rear mech or shifters, if I do i'll add it here.
