If it works i may just keep it. easy to clean, and i didn't plan on wrapping the tops of the bars anyway. has anyone done this? impressions?
this is what they look like:

I have an OOOLLLLDDDDD set of Grab-On foam grips for drop bars which I use exactly that way. When I put together a new (to me) bike; I tape on the Grab-Ons (with a few wraps of electrical tape) for as long as I need to until the controls are set 'right'. Looks goofy for a while, but works great. Once I'm real happy with everything, they come off and the bar underlay and top tape goes on...
