    Thank you, Lesa. That helps a lot. It looks so much more comfortable. I'm going to go ahead and order one.

    No problem. I also want to clarify that the only place I used the electrical tape is at the ends of the bars where my grips were cut. The majority of the black tape is normal grip tape, and I wish that I had gotten cork or something a little more squishy. It's not uncomfortable, but I think a cork tape would have been nicer. I have some Salsa tape on my "project" bike and it is much more comfortable.

    Ahhh, thank you for clarification. I've read about putting some sort of padding underneath the grip tape, I need to look more into that. I can't wait to change my handlebar. It looks like it should be a fairly simple swap.

    Anyone know where to find these? Nashbar doesn't sell them anymore. I've had a couple people ask me about mine, and I have to tell them I got them from Nashbar but they've been discontinued there.

    I just ordered a pair from a seller on ebay. I hope they're nice. His feedback is pretty good, and he was good about answering my questions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123

    Heifzilla, I'm so impressed that you did that yourself. I'm glad this thread was revived because I am starting to get numb hands and I may want to do the same thing.
