If you are going to wrap a strip around the yoke, you should try leather
made to cover bicycle handlebars since it has beveled edges and will be flat
where it overlaps.

These two places cover yokes with leather:

If you try to do it yourself, you might experiment with soaking the leather
in water, stretching it and then put it on. It will shrink tight as it
dries.

We've got a bag full of leather scraps, left over from our new interior
job
last fall. I would like to wrap our yokes with it, so that they match the
seats and throttle cover.

Anyone ever done this? I don't want to just wind the stuff around and
have
it look like crap in a few months.

Should I use adhesive? Cut it into strips? Try stitching? Is there a
proven technique to follow?
