Howzit Everyone,
Leather clutch hand lever and brake hand lever covers can be bought, but will they actually fit correctly on you Motorbike hand levers?
I had some leather and thought I would make my own for my Harley.
Thought I would show ya all how easy it can be to make a set for your Motorbike
I cut the upper leather portion off an old pair of black M/C boots I was getting ready to throw away.
I figured the hand lever cover size, I cut em out and punched holes for leather lace.
The leather pieces for my Harley hand levers are 2 5/8" big end 1 5/8" small end and 4 1/2" long
Hand lever size for a Motorbike is probably different
They turned out really good and fit really tight, I made sure of that
I was gonna use leather lace but I only had tan and it didn't match
I used 30 lb braided fishing line
Looks good to me, If I ever get some black leather lace I might use that
Ya can't even notice my bad sewing or the moss green braided line from 2 ft away. It takes a close up to see that.
It's good enough for the girls I go out with
I wrap my hand levers with leather because when it gets cold outside those aluminum levers are freezing and it don't take long for the cold to go right thru my gloves and make my fingers tips numb, Wrapping them with leather keeps the cold out
If I leave my bike out in the sun on a hot day those aluminum hand levers can get really hot Wrapping them with leather keeps em cool
