It's been said once but I'll say it again: This thread is great. Smart, helpful people with digital cameras will inherit this forum.

That looks absolutely fantastic.
I want to do it.
Unhappily, I can't quite follow the instructions.
I almost get it but it won't quite come into focus.
Everybody else seems to get it.
I feel stupid.
I'll come back and read it in an hour or two and maybe it will make sense then.
Nonetheless: dynamite.
I can't live without it.

Went to the hockey pro shop today and got some yellow tape! I've been looking for that color for awhile now and the cork yellow wasn't the right shade. I now have hockey taped handle bars but I didn't try the special wrap. Maybe next time. I wonder how long they'll last before they beging to fray. It doesn't matter though, one roll of the hockey tape can wrap 3 bars or more I'm guessing for a mere $3 or so.

This thread was great.

Ask and ye shall receive .... well ..... sometimes anyway. I rewrote the instructions as a web page and put it up at www.drizzle.com/~crew . Hint: if you narrow up your browser window it looks better ;-) Tomorrow, it should also be at: my wastedlife page

Take care...

After you finish wrapping you bars you should shellac them.
Here is a nice How To for it.
