Default Highway bar covers

I recently was at a dealership in Seattle and saw some highway bars that had black "fabric" covers on them. Didn't have a chance to question anyone on them. Does anyone know anything about them? I ride an 07' XL883L. Thanks

I don't know much about them but a guy from another forum has some for his Lindby Multibar and seems like to them. Here is a link to his post...

You can get a leather shop to stitch pieces in place. You should be able to pick the leather color and stitching style (whip-stitch, braided, X-stitch, etc.). Custom tooling of the leather (FTW, kids' names, bike's name, etc.) would be going the extra mile. A buddy of mine payed $60 to have black leather braided stitched to match his hand grips onto his Softail's Linby Bar. VERY nice!
