Leather Lever Covers?

[Noodles107]

Good morning kids ...

Anyone have, had, use Leather Lever Covers? With fringe, without fringe? Plain Leather, Embossed? I looked into Chrome Lever replacement and the prices are pretty steep. I saw this set of Gator Embossed Lever Covers for really inexpensive which match my seat as well ... As usual, any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much

I ran some plain braided leather covers in the past, they improved the lever pull in the rain

Your plan to match your seat would look awesome

I would get them. They would look good on your bike. They could be a problem if you’re using one of the clutch levers designed to engage the clutch earlier. If the clutch switch doesn’t close it won’t start in gear and cruise control won’t release as it should.

Have a hydraulic clutch on my 17, don't know if that matters. Never have used the cruise control. I don't think that the wraps are that thick but they are cheap enough to give them a try ... I think

You should be OK with the covers on the levers, when you use fatter than stock grips you run into trouble. I ran DS grips on my 17 with hydraulic clutch and had no problems

I don't remember if you said if your trike had the clutch recall done?

Go for it! They will compliment your seat for sure!

Thanks ... I believe it has. Just got the bike in November and brought it down to HD for a look over. They ran the Vin and said A OK no outstanding warrants Was a one owner bike and the guy was meticulous about caring for it. Has been a pisser since we've had it

I had leather covers on the levers of my ultra limited and then again on my 19 tri glide. I had to cut a couple inches off because they kept slapping my arms at highway speed. After that they were fine.

I had leather covers on my SGS but since I sold it...now the new owner has them. Wife still has the same leather covers on her FatBoy Lo. I personnally liked them. Already have a pair to put on my Freewheeler once it arrives. Also a 2019 Black Vivid. Simply plain leather no pattern. Saved my Capt. Itch heat shield which I plan to put on the FLRT. That has the crocodile embossed inset.

Alligator / Crocodile Embossed Leather Lever Wraps ...

Super inexpensive little touch added to the Trike. Really good quality wraps from "The Dirty Gringo" very easy install and they pull in the Alligator seat nicely.

That looks good, Jeff.👍

Very cool, it compliments your seat

Mink oil them for miles of smiles

Finishing touch … beading and end caps. Really came out well. Thanks for all the input.
