Correct Bags

Hey everyone, we keep forgetting to support Chicago Mike. He has replicated original bags for the Kirby 500 series. I haven't had a chance to use one yet, but my guess is that they're pretty good. They're on sale on Ebay. Also black wheels for pre-1956 models. I think we need to promote his efforts every chance we get!

I have one of his bags and a set of his wheels on my 505 right now. They look pretty close to original.

Replicating old parts

Would it be possible to replicate the red trim so it would not have to be painted with the S.E M. spray paint? How easy would it be?

 

[jeschbac]

Maybe

Mike will see this and respond. If not, message me and I will give you his address or write him on your behalf.
