OK, Folks, I finally am ready to provide the straps we have been talking about. I have found they take more to make than I had originally thought and I had very high grade leather made just for these. Believe me, these are TOP QUALITY like you have never seen in this type of strap!

As an introduction I am selling these for $130 with FREE shipping ... but this price ONLY until July 15 ! After that I have to stay with the retail price ($179 + s&h)to be fair to the dealers who are also selling them for me. (NOTE: retail is still less than the import straps !)

Each strap is made of American leather specially tanned at the Hermann Oak Leather Company in St. Louis, MO. It is known as English Bridle leather and has special oil additives and GOLDEN TAN coloring for this application. Each fastening strap has a buckle and keeper on one end to secure it to the trunk mounted luggage carrier and another buckle on the other end ... with a

I have had lots of direct email about size. I have these in 1 1/2" now (fits the Vintage rack and many others) and I am tooling up to make them in 1 1/4" to fit the Reutter rack. I will have buckles, parts, etc and be ready to ship the narrower straps within two weeks. The SO special price is still offered for any sets ordered before July 15.

Thanks for all the good feedback.

Drive safe, smile big,

Jim,
Thanks for the kind words. I have been busier than I imagined making Luggage Straps for folks (for many marques) and I am having fun at it. The Spyder is long gone to the Pacific Northwest and its replacement is in the garage (1986 Porsche 930 Turbo). You can see pictures on my pic page on this site.

We are leaving in September to England for a couple of weeks and I hope to contact speedster people over there and see some of their leatherwork.

Keep driving, keep smiling,
Dusty
