Thanks. That G5 was pretty rough when I got it so I decided to follow the lines of least expense in replacing worn and damaged pieces. Several of the modifications aren't readily visible in that photo. The most obvious ones are the bag assembly and cord from an Ultimate G and a G3, respectively. The bag looks especially good with it. The color of the machine makes the flecks of burgundy in the bag pop out a bit more than they do on an Ultimate G but it didn't look right with the gray bag topper so I swapped the burgundy one from the G5 bag onto it. I've thought about putting the matching emptor on it as well and may still do so one day. The machine came to me with a trashed brush roll so I replaced it with a more aggressive Sentria style brush. One non-original part that was already in place when I got it was a charcoal gray G4 back plate on the handle. That last one didn't even register with me until I watched the G5 demonstration video on YouTube and realized partway through that the back plate on the demo machine was burgundy. Oh, and the foot switch for the transmission has been swapped out for a gray and orange one from a Sentria because why not?
