Some useful tips: Handlebars and accessories

This is a very good product and as you can see it is very affordable. I am very pleased with the look of this case and time will tell its durability. I would like to share some suggestions to make the installation easier. MEASURE BECAUSE MEASURE AGAIN. Measure your own steering wheel yourself. Don't rely on the size you need. Be sure to measure the entire length of the wheel, but be sure to measure the circumference (all the way around) where your hands are gripping the wheel. So you get the very important "-/+" part of the size. To measure this part you can take a piece of string and wrap it around it and then measure the string. CUT BEFORE INSTALLATION. Do a quick test setup to see how much excess material is left when you sew the two sides together. You can pull the thread quite taut, so if the sides don't meet at first, you might still have the right -/+ size. If necessary, trim the sides of the cover prior to installation. I did this and cut off about 1/8 inch from both sides. I'm so glad I did so I didn't have any extra material. WATCH THIS VIDEO. Before you start the installation, watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rObCWlUqocQ). This is for another company's product, but it shows you very well how to do the three types of stitches and where to do them. BE CAREFUL ON THE SPOKES. As you will see in the video, make a double stitch on both sides of the needles. This stitch provides extra support and keeps the case in place. Be sure to sew close enough to the needle so the cover lays flat. If it puffs up at all, then you weren't close enough before you started the wrong stitches (watch the video again). If you screw it up and figure it out when you're done like I did, you can always fix the bloated part. Take another piece of thread and go back to this point to make a double stitch in the right place and line up the puffy part. Don't be afraid to start over if you have to. (I'll repeat this later.) ADDITIONAL TOOLS. You can actually use pliers when making the second stitch on the needles. You will eventually have to go back and tighten the first stitch so you can tighten both stitches. Pliers with needles worked well for me. Be careful not to damage the threads with the pliers. TAKE YOUR TIME. It takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Leave it. There's no point in rushing and doing badly. Don't be afraid to start over if you have to. Also, don't be afraid to take a break in the middle. I have made. KEEP YOUR LEVEL. Before you start sewing, triple check how the sides of the cover will touch and where the stitching will be on the wheel. Try to keep the stitching even and in the same place around the entire perimeter of the wheel. It doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, but why not strive for perfection? One hole at a time. When you start sewing, go through one hole at a time, first from the back and then from the front. If you've made a good stretch, you can probably pull both sides through at once and then tighten the thread. But again, don't rush or go wrong - if you have to go through one hole at a time, just do it. USE BOTH HANDS. You will develop your own system of holding the thread taut and withdrawing the needle and thread to start a new page. It will be settled. One thing I did was keep the needle in my mouth after going through each hole and pulling a long thread through it. It's too awkward to hold the needle and pull the thread while holding the previously threaded portion taut. I held the needle in my mouth and freed both hands. As the instructions say, "Really tight." But I don't think you should screw it up. Just do it well and carefully. If you have extra room, especially around the needles, try peeling the sheath off with your hands before pulling the thread taut. I was concerned about not putting too much pressure on these holes but they seem pretty solid. I wish you success!
