Take leather, cut out the rectangles, wrap them around the bars and throttle, mark the holes, punch the holes, lace the grips. Cover the inside with grip glue, place them in the appropriate place, pull the laces tight and tie them off. Stain the leather on the bike using old motor oil.

Grips.

It's surprisingly easy.



These were the grips I made for my Honda. I riveted two pieces together and then laced them up using the laces as a place for my fingers to grip and the rivets in my palms to add grip there. After they aged in the sun and weather a bit they looked fantastic, this is them fresh on with the mohagony stain.
