A modern twist on our classic leather grips, the Bare Knuckle Grips feature modern cut-outs for both tactile finger holds and submarine windows to the chrome of your handlebars below.
Experience both luxury and performance on your handlebars with old-fashioned vegetable-tanned leather grips. Durable in the elements, warm to the touch, and grippier when wet, our natural leather is a performance material with a beautiful look.
Like our other easy to sew on products, the Bare Knuckle Grips come as a kit that you stitch on yourself with pre-punched stitching holes, needle, thread, and instructions.
The natural oils in your hands burnish our high-quality American leather into a glossy patina that will last you a lifetime. You get to keep the patina you've earned: you can transfer it from bike to bike, and over the years it will only get more beautiful with use and time.
Fits standard flat handlebars with a 0.875" (7/8") diameter (approximately 22mm).

I’m customizing my bike little by little...these leather grips alone changed the look of my bike Already!!!! Easy install, thick leather...shop easy to communicate with. Happy with my purchase ☺️
On time, easy instructions, great to deal with!
Rubber grips don't work down here in the tropical climate of Key West. The sun melts them to a sticky mess that ends up all over your hands. With the leather knuckle grips I bought from you guys that problem is gone. Not to mention the superb quality of craftsmanship and the great look they give my conch cruiser. We will be ordering a set for the girlfriends cruiser very soon. Thanks guys for putting out a quality handmade product.
