These are soft leather with a self adhesive peel and stick tape on the back. They protect your paint from chain slap and give your bike a finished look. In decades past, constracteurs actually brazed on fittings over which a leather strip was stretched, these are the next best thing. They really are so much classier than those fake carbon fiber stickers or thick packing tape you see on some bikes. We now have these in elk hide to match your handlebar covers.
