  12. Hi there. I have a 2014 Indian vintage and these leather grip covers are available through Indian as an accessory. If I were you I would find an Indian dealer near you and copy the pattern. The application is glue on the bare chrome handlebar and remember if they are bigger than the stock grips. you will need to adjust your clutch. If you get these done, I would appreciate pictures. Good luck bcflyguy X- Montrealer
