Are you looking for the type of handlebar wrap that sewa on, or the kind that goes on like regular tape? If you're looking for the sew-on kind, It's really easy and cheap to do your own. I did some for my Hujsak that was at the cirque. I got a remnant of upholstery leather from a local shop, and curved needles and heavy waxed linen thread from the sewing store. An awl is a huge help. without it I'm sure my fingers would still hurt. My first try is servicable, but is a little ugly in spots. The next try will be much better, since I figured out a couple things. I can send pictures/ directions tomorrow if you're interested, I just don't have any pics of the bars yet.
