Exactly. After you remove your stock grips, you have the bare metal handlebars. It's a little more important on the clutch side because the throttle tube is plastic and works relatively well as an insulator.

The aluminum tape is over the heating elements and under the grips. If you do decide to wrap aluminum tape, wrap it in the direction you'll be twisting the throttle or else it might unravel over time.
