YA I need some tools I feel like a total pain having them swap over my tubes tires cog and Lockring over to my new wheels and then put them on my bike. It's an easy 20 for them tho !

Wrap the right handlebar clockwise so the tape is going forward over the top of the bar.
Wrap the left handlebar counterclockwise so the tape is going forward over the top of the bar.
It appears the left bar is wrapped backwards. Your hand will unwrap the tape over time.
And since you're just doing risers, you have a lot of extra tape so you can overlap it a lot more.
I recommend barend plugs to complete the job.

And yes, bar end plugs! (Not so necessary with straight handlebars, but with drops, those bar ends are cookie cutters in a crash. I hit an opening car door many moons ago and stopped with both thighs on the bar end plugs. Had deep circular 1" bruises on each. Don't want to even think about the "what if" of not having those plugs)
