Are the fringe covers just laced on tight or do they require adhesive as suggested in the J&P catalog?

Thanks!
John
I just laced them on. They stayed put. After a while I tired of the look, so I cut the fringes off and left the laced-on piece of leather covering the levers. Looks better now, in my opinion. I bought mine at Fox Creek Leather. They have a nice selection of quality stuff, and the best customer service on the Web.
