LEATHER SURE GRIP TOOL AND SADDLEBAGS

If you don't like the looks and feel of nylon saddlebags, Sure Grip has the solution: genuine leather. Two sizes are offered. They strap to the bike with leather belts and ties. The straps can also be repositioned and used as shoulder straps. The all-leather tool bag fits behind the seat or on a sissy bar. Both are reasonably priced; the tool bag costs $39.95, the saddlebags start at $148.95. Contact Sure Grip Products, 770 Pinefalls, Walnut, Calif. 91789. Phone (714) 594-3774.
