I never liked taping bars, simple enough theoretically but esp w/touring bikes there are complications. Some instructions say to leave brake levers bolted down & just use a short strip of tape to cover bare section but it's nicer to loosen lever & tape underneath though I guess one needs some way to mark correct lever position. Touring bars often don't include a groove for brake levers let alone a groove for bar-end shifter cables. I found rather little info about best spot to place cables on handlebar; last week I retaped & brake cable position is OK but it turns out putting bar-end shifter cable directly on bottom of drops gives irritating ridge. & then some tapes give barely enough length so one strives to minimize overlap despite that more overlap gives better comfort. OTOH the Fubar tape was fairly generous, didn't have a problem wrapping entire bar.
