Using bike handlebar tape as a steering wheel cover

You get what you pay for.

That's not real leather. It's very thin. Doesn't have perforations to stitch it through. Not saying it won't work and look nice for a while... but, not nearly as long.

Trust me, if you ever buy something along the lines of a Wheelskins cover, you'll understand. It's worth what you pay for it.

As with so many things... $50 for a wheel cover seems like a lot to me now. But, the first one I bought nearly 20 years ago was around $28-30... and with inflation, that's $50.

You get what you pay for.

I tried one of those cheaper ones once, and it was tearing out at the stitches before I even finished installing it. I ended up scrapping it.

I did not know these steering wheel covers existed til now. I always picture furry steering wheel covers. I wonder if you have to still do the stitching with the high-end Wheelskins? I bookmarked their website. Thanks, that is an interesting upgrade, and I like that I could pick the colour of the leather steering wheel.

Spend some money on a good one, its worth it. Mine was $25 and worth every penny.

I'm thinking of getting this. Beats wrapping some crappy hockey tape around it and looks amazing! https://www.amazon.ca/Fashion-Steeri...81886381&psc=1

Question - does that shift knob cover help with shifting??

Ha! I think that would mess up a shift bc the fluff would cover everything... And all it takes is one miss shift....bam.

I stopped shifting altogether! I highly recommend it.

I heard on a different thread that downshifting is only for towing....it's hard on the car and will make it rev to 6-7000rpm. Basically it's gonna kill the car. So now I leave it in drive permanently. No need to shift ever again. I ran a wire from the starter solenoid to a momentary switch and have a big solar panel on the roof so the battery won't die cause I can't get the key out now so it's always gonna be on accessory when parked.

I'm thinking of locking the steering wheel straight ahead next
