My eyes must be deceiving me. In the shot on the right, it definitely looks too shiny and plasticky looking. But in the shot on the left that looks like real thread holding things together. Wasn't the "thread" on that molded, Moto "crap" molded in to the covering? I've only seen pictures of it. Also, on the molded-on stuff, the lever hoods were molded in with the bar wrap, like Noglider sez. Hard to tell but, that one black lever hood partially shown looks like a separate unit to me. But, my eyes are getting old.

Question, Pepermint Jocky. Is the stitching shown molded in plastic? or "real" thread? Could that stuff be stitched on vinyl? Odd.
