Grill the sausage links for 5 minutes per side (turning once). Remove from grill. Cut each Italian link into 6 pieces. Slice onion into wedges and peppers into chunks. Thread a piece of pepper, then sausage, then onion onto skewer. Repeat, alternating pepper colors so there are a total of 4 pieces of pepper, three sausages and three onion pieces per skewer. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Cook skewers on a grill or grill pan over medium heat about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Halfway through cooking process, baste skewers with balsamic sauce. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.
