Does ur wife complain about the hand holds being hot on ur trike?
I made some grips for mine. Take some old leather and black pipe insulation. Sew the leather then measure the insulation to fit. wrap a string tightly around the insulation (this makes it smaller) slide the leather over it and and carefully remove the string. Make sure the string sticks out of one end. wala ur done.

I've added the Harley covers to my grab rail. Cleaned out all the threads with a small tap which made the screws go in much easier.

That looks good their 67 Wizard, but I don't think my g/f uses them when she does ride with me, I guess because my 2 wheeler's didn't have hand holds, her hands are usually in her lap I guess, never paid attention since she doesn't ride that much.



All for now Trampas
 
I just recently finished my 2nd version of grip covers. I did the padding covered with leather last summer but the padding didn't keep it's shape very long. This is what I did now, haven't been able to ride yet with these on for her. I machined them out of some composite material and wrapped with leather.

My wife don't use them much, but when its get to over 110 in the sun,

it only takes that one time.
