Motorcycle Handlebar Leather Throttle Grips Wrap Covers With 3M Tape Universal for all Bike Handles Accessories By Trip Machine Company (Vintage Tan)

The leather is very nice. Great appearance to it, and I’m certain it is going to age well and look better as it does. Already looks great though! The leather seems to have a thicker center, and tapers to thinner edges. Which makes it easy to wrap and like up as you choose.The 3M tape that is used seems to work great for positioning and re-positioning the main wrap, but I had issues with it not wanting to stick on the ends and used a different similar type of tape to hold the ends. If need be, down the road, I will simply glue the ends to hold them. I don’t hold this against Trip Machine though. Sealing the ends on something like this isn’t always easy. And maybe use and warmth of the sun will help that glue make a better bond as well. I just finished the install and have a long day ahead before I get to ride home, so time will tell how they hold up and if I installed them correctly.I love the hand-made quality of the product, and have been eyeing it for a while now. So happy I took the plunge and made the purchase finally. $25 may not seem like a lot of money to most, but when you have mouths to feed first, you hold off on the frivolous purchases. To have that purchase show up in a neat little case, with a bonus sticker inside, and to have the product meet all your expectations and not disappoint...that feels good. My hat off to Trip Machine for their dedication to their product and customers.

I am really happy with the wrap. the Leather quality is great, it went on easily, the packaging was fantastic and classy, and the instructional video was easy to follow. Comfort and tactile feel, as well as looks, is great! The only constructive criticism I would like to point out, is the attachment of the loose end. The instructional video shows taking the little extra 3M strip and placing it across the trimmed wrap at the end, but I noticed that it shows to put the strip right over the existing 3M adhesive strip already on the wrap. this creates a "lump" on the end that is noticeable to your fingers, and causes it to not stick well and peel back. the proper way is to trim back the adhesion strip on the wrap before applying the end adhesive strip (if that makes sense). This way it lays flat and allows maximum adhesion. Also, i would suggest you instruct users to wipe their existing grip down with alcohol to be sure there is no greasy residue preventing the adhesive from sticking properly....just things I have learned in the past. And perhaps you could print the link to the install video on the card in the box?Great Product at a great price! keep up the good work!

They look and feel great on a vintage style bike. Develop a nice patina pretty quickly. Great quality and an easy instal. They last about a year of daily riding before needing replacement. I’m on my third pair. A little pricey but the quality is there.

I got the perforated brown version for my Royal Enfield Classic 500, already have the small tank bag from TripMachine and love it!Positive: the leather band itself is great quality and more than long enough. If you take your time practicing a bit before really mounting it, it really looks great.To be improved: the included super glue was dried up. Useless. Probably sat on the shelf for a long time...And, at that price tag, I would appreciate a more reliable solution for the ends that tend to come off, even with super glue applied - e.g. cable-binder-style endpieces or similar.

I installed the Trip Machine Vintage Tan grip wraps on an Int 650 and a Continental GT 650. On the first installation (Int 650), I noticed that the double-sided tape tended to cause gaps and "puffiness." That's why I gave a "4" on the adhesion rating. So, on the second installation (Cont GT 650) I painstakingly removed the tape (I used my thumbnail) and left about 3 inches on the tip for securing the end. I found that the wraps installed more easily, lay flatter, and don't have gaps. I used the provided super glue to secure the ends on both installs. I prefer the "tapeless" method, but it requires scraping off the tape, which takes time. Overall, I really like the Trip Machine Vintage Tan wraps; they complement both bikes well and are really comfortable, especially when you use leather gloves. They are really smooth to grip without gloves but that's not an issue for me as I almost always ride with deerskin gloves. As to the tape, for the time being I will leave the tape on the Int 650, although at some point I might remove it and do a rewrap.

These actually made my grips handle better in my sportster and low rider s . It feels nice in the palm. Grips well with or without gloves. Ages well too. Starts to look better over time. Easy to install and have stayed on after 6 months of daily throttle abuse. The amount of compliments I get in these alone make it worth the price . It’s 3m so you just peek and wrap. That’s it. I paired these with a brown leather seat and wow.

I wanted to change The look of my grips and went with Trip Machine’s wraps. I can’t say enough about how it changed the motorcycle and the way the grips feel when you twist the throttle This definitely adds a look of vintage to my already vintage motorcycle. I would buy these items again and recommend them to anyone who might be interested in quality products for their motorcycles. Thanks again Trip Machine!

Very nicely boxed,the leather seems good quality and the strips are cut in a way that makes it easy to install.I watched a video on YouTube and practiced wrapping a few times without taking off the protective film. Easy, peasy and looks professional. Takes 10 minutes to install.
