Ok. I finally got the leather grips the way I want them. I am offering handle grip covers and lever covers. Right now the lever covers are free. Each set comes with and Indian Head nickel concho on the ends of the grips. You can use them as is or add accessories such as leather feathers or leather tassels.
Yes I can make them in black. I haven't posted that option on the internet yet because I haven't made examples yet. The prices will be the same. You can order on the website and then send me an email stating that you want black. IndianAftermarket@gmail.com
The answer is yes. I can make a headband for feathers. Do you mean for real feathers or "leather feathers"? Some real feathers are regulated by government and the leather feathers would be pricey.
web site has a little paypal conflict - if you order the grip covers (then return to shopping) to order the tassles it only shows the tassels in the shopping cart - long story short it makes you create two separate paypal transactions. I just ordered mine 1/31/2016 grip cover and tassels but it is not clear if the concho's are part of the package?
I am fixing the PayPal issues. You were charged for shipping also and you should get free shipping. You will receive a refund check for the shipping along with your order. I fixed the shipping issue. I will look into the shopping cart issue. However, I received your order from PayPay that showed what you want (as two orders). The Indian Head nickel Conchos are included with the grips. I will make sure the website says this. It is in the video. Thanks for your order and information. www.IndianAftermarket.com
Just ordered the black ones. Not real interested in the conchos, so I might trim that part off, or might leave it on, not sure yet. As an idea, you could offer a no Concho option on your site as well. Thanks!
I got your order for the leather grips and lever covers. The ponchos are really cool but you can trim the tabs off that hold the concho and it will not look butchered. I suggest you try the conchos first and see if people like them. If not you could use them as buttons on your vest. The conchos are included because I want to encourage people to buy the tassels and feather accessories. (Got to make money you know.) Thanks for shopping at www.IndianAftermarket.com
The 10" leather feathers cost $69 for two. If you buy at least 5 sets, I will make a headband for you for free. you must agree to send me photos of you wearing it.
I like this mod a lot. The originals look ok with the large flap if you have fringe IMO, but without the fringe I prefer the cleaner look like this with the conch flat. Did you just punch new holes and trim? Are the edges of the flaps whipped?
I am afraid I am not so happy with the Black grips.....they are much thinner than the tan version, I'd say one third to half thinner. One of my lever covers tore before I could even begin to sew it on, and there was only enough lacing for 3 of 4 of the covers. Great idea, great design, just not well executed....IMHO.
Jesse,
Again I am sorry you are disappointed. The tan leather is thicker than the black leather. However, the black leather is plenty strong. Leather is a natural product and there may be a defect or weak area that caused a problem. In any case I want you to be happy. I am willing to send another set to you or give you a refund if you prefer. I want you as well as any of my customers to realize the I care.
Finally had a day warm enough to go out to the shed and sew my new Warbonnet Leather Grips. Really pleased with the result. Went for a short ride to pick up some meds for the dog and snapped these pics. The Indian Head nickle conchos are a nice touch. I can recommend this product.

@DocBuck I see you did both the levers and the bars - still plenty of room for play in the clutch??? Sweet looking ride - tell me more about your tailpack.
Got a new color for leather grips. A customer requested them. I like them so we are offering them as a normal product. Christian hopefully post photos of his installation soon. His Scout has a custom seat that is red and black along with a rear fender leather cover that matches.

Marcus, my scout has been at the dealer receiving more upgrades. I have not forgotten about the promised pics... I should have the bike back within 2 weeks and I will go photo crazy! You have my word

Yeah I understand that, but TBH I'm not a fan of the flaps hanging out like that when it's installed. I'd prefer if the flaps folded over tight against the endcap (with the concho of course) or to not have the flaps at all. I guess I could buy 'em and cut the flaps off but that seems like a waste.
You could replace the concho screw/nut with a longer screw and then push that into the end of the grip. Good idea. might use a little glue like silicon.
The flaps can be trimmed of with scissors easily. You can then sew them on normally. You only need to cut straight for about 3/4" No one will know that you did it (except me).
Thanks, I'll probably order a set then. I need the grips, my hands are killing me on the stock grips. Do you have fringed versions of the clutch/brake lever covers? I don't want fringe on the regular grips but do there.
Anyone else got the black that would be willing to post pics? My birthday is coming up.
