u kno the $3 lil rubber lever grips, i really need one of those to ride in the cold, cuz i hate gloves.  they arent on flatlandfuels site anymore, flatlandfuel should change the name to flatland trend, cuz if the part is not trendy they prolly aint got it. danscomp usually helps me out there, so i gotta order from both

some roller ball pens have a soft rubber grip that can be removed and used for lever covers.... no idea on brands or type, just pick one that looks like the grip is removable.

The Rubber grip pen is a good solution if you cant find a lever cover.
There are plenty of rubber grip pens around:

dude, that hurts Smiley

Seriously, I think we have a few things at flatlandfuel that Dans does not have. As for brake lever covers, thats one of those things that there is almost zero demand for it. You are the first person I have saw ever ask about them. But we will get a few to see if people really want them.

Want to make your own brake lever covers that are superior to anything you can buy? Go to any hardware or home improvement store and buy a can of plastidip. It will cost $5-$6 and include enough material to make dozens of brake lever covers. It is a flexible rubber like what you find on the handles of tools. Dip your brake lever in it. Let it dry and you have an instant brake lever cover.

I've used that plastidip stuff on tools and it is awesome. You can pick up a pint can at walmart, I forget how much but it was less than $15.
