Great look and feel, Quality product
The leather is very nice. Great appearance to it, and I’m certain it is going to age well and look better as it does. Already looks great though! The leather seems to have a thicker center, and tapers to thinner edges. Which makes it easy to wrap and like up as you choose.<br /><br />The 3M tape that is used seems to work great for positioning and re-positioning the main wrap, but I had issues with it not wanting to stick on the ends and used a different similar type of tape to hold the ends. If need be, down the road, I will simply glue the ends to hold them. I don’t hold this against Trip Machine though. Sealing the ends on something like this isn’t always easy. And maybe use and warmth of the sun will help that glue make a better bond as well. I just finished the install and have a long day ahead before I get to ride home, so time will tell how they hold up and if I installed them correctly.<br /><br />I love the hand-made quality of the product, and have been eyeing it for a while now. So happy I took the plunge and made the purchase finally. $25 may not seem like a lot of money to most, but when you have mouths to feed first, you hold off on the frivolous purchases. To have that purchase show up in a neat little case, with a bonus sticker inside, and to have the product meet all your expectations and not disappoint...that feels good. My hat off to Trip Machine for their dedication to their product and customers.
