Any? I can't imagine how these things were sewn together.I certainly can't imagine sewing up a new skin myself by hand... I have a quarter size hole now worn to the rubber underlayer right at Twelve O'Clock,where i usually have my hand. Anyone use some Leather wrap tape or something?

Wheel Skins, they sew on.

I did this a while back, takes about an hour to sew on...looks good

Drum tight, just makes the grip a little thicker

So you put it over the old skin? Couldn't you remove the old one? Slice the old stiching ? or will the rubber come up then?

I'll also vouch for these. Best price I've found was from, Bob 310 210 5309
Be sure to tape up your fingers when sewing these on, you'll see what I mean.
