@thecastman97 haha

[thecastman97]

@arbanaskocudo lmao what do you want to use? duct tape? lol. the bar tape did work on the bar, electrical tape is like the cherry on top (not really) but still, its worked for 50+ years

[arbanaskocudo]

does electrical tape holds enough good ? i doubt it

[AFullSodaCan]

Not bad, but I like starting at the top of the handlebars, by wrapping the bar tape over itself once, and then finishing at the plug end so you don't have to use finicky electrical tape to hold it in place.
