Trip Machine Company Motorcycle Handlebar Leather Grip Wrap Covers – Universal Throttle Grip Covers with Double Sided Tape – Anti-Slip Bike Handle Accessories

The leather wrap is a very aesthetically pleasing hand wrap. I've been using the stock grips for a while and it became very faded, I thought about buying new grips however I came across their Instagram page (check them out) and immediately knew I had to have them, amongst other things I want that they sell (like their helmet hanger... I encourage to check that out as well... I really want it, that'll be my next purchase from them). The price of only 25 dollars is amazing as well so its a win win. The installation is very simple, just peal the adhesive tape and wrap. I've only had it for a 2 days and already it has a very nice subtle patina to it. I did have the smallest trouble with the finishing end of the wrap becuase it didn't want to stick properly, and wanted to peal back off, so I ended up putting a zip-tie to hold it down, just in case (not noticeable at all... and still looks great). They are a little slick with gloves on but I'm sure that once it's weathered-in that they'll have a little more friction to it for better grip. The logo branded on the leather adds a very nice rustic look to it as well. It's perfect for my style. They even come in a pretty cool little box, I'll end up using for small things like change, I like it.

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!

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've purchased a few of Trip Machine products (tool roll, roll top backpack) and they're all top quality, handmade by craftsmen who embrace the riding lifestyle and get it. These leather grips are in the same category - high quality, cool retro look, fair price. I installed these on my Triumph Bonneville T120 and they look and feel great. I wanted a little color accent and leather feel and they fit the part. One thing that I wasn't expecting - they make the bike feel more stable, handle better. What I mean is that the diameter of the grip is now slightly larger and it makes the ride feel more stable, smoother. It's a little hard to put into words, similar to how different diameter steering wheels on a car make it feel different. Anyway I really like it and my grip heater elements still penetrate through (it just takes a little longer to warm up). Trip Machine makes such quality stuff that I'm always looking for something else to add to my retro-style bike. Ride safe my friends.

Looks Nice ! Easy to put on ! Don’t. know how much time will they last ( double sided tape looks weak )

Nice leather and the final results were great. But it was too short. I practiced several times and figured out how far to wrap. But when i did it with the glue strip, the wrap is too short. I recognize that this means i wrapped it too tightly, but there isn’t much you can do about that while you install it. To unwind means tearing up the leather. Another 6” would be nice. (Thats what she said 🤣) I ended up buying a second set for the extra length. I’ll choose a different solution next time.

High quality beautiful leather. I'm really impressed with how it turned out on my bike. Easy install, I took my time and was very careful, the adhesive is strong and the look and comfort are great. However, the glue that comes with it, is no joke! Be careful, wear protective gloves and safety glasses! It is very good if you get it on your skin, well... just don't. Learn from my mistake 😆
