Default Wrapped Bars

Ever seen anyone with wrapped bars. I have the heritage bars on my Lo and was thinking about having them PC'd. Then I thought why not wrap them with black exhaust wrapping? I'd get the black I wanted and it would give them some thickness. So what do you think? Would it give it an old school look or ****? I might try it. Not like it isn't reversible.

Never seen it or even thought of it.

That's what we did with our bicycles handlebars when I was a kid. Didn't hold up very well though, but maybe now they have better quality tape

I've never heard of or even THOUGHT of doing that. I'd say give it a shot, and if it looks bad, just take it off. In my mind it doesn't look good though.
