S&M comes to mind. Not a fan.

I'm not a spike fan first.
The wrap, while it looks like you spent some time doing a very neat job, if you're going to do it wrap the entire bars. I don't particularly like the mix of the bars showing through.

Hmm just got an idea to heat shrink my bars... if I get tired of it just cut it off no harm unlike powder coating... since my bike is denim it should look decent...

Yeah, not feeling it. IMO I would stick to black PC. But, as stated already, its your bike.

Wow. Didn't realize it would meet with such dislike.

I am going to be tightening it up a little...straightening the weave...but as everyone has pretty much stated...its my bike. I like it because it breaks up the Chrome on the bars, and because it reminds me of my baseball days. Man it sux getting old.

Thanks for your opinions everyone.

I like the idea... but as others have said, I would wrap them solid rather than the criss-cross pattern. Just my taste.

My general feeling about bikes, riding, and leather....
'My bike wears the leather, not me'

Yep, and completely wrap them so no chrome is showing. Sorry, but the way you have them wrapped looks incomplete & pointless, IMO.

Well....I guess I will be the odd one out here. I saw the pics and thought, I want that too! I think it looks great!! Def different, not too much chrome, not too much leather. I think you hit a home run!!
