What is the best handlebar finishing tape? The most commonly used tape is simple electrical tape.

Other options for finishing tape include gaffer tape and silicone tape. I've never used these for finishing tape because they tend to be more expensive, and electrical tape tends to work just fine as long it is a good quality brand like 3M.

Tip: Seal the end of the electrical tape under your handlebars by heating a spoke with a lighter and tack welding it a couple times. This helps prevent the tape from unraveling.
