Chris,
Believe it or not the Heritage (84), Heritage II (Legend) and Legend II actually did have the 13" nozzle as an option. You are right, too, that the G3/G4 nozzle (and other front-mounted accessories like the hose and the Carpet Cleaning System nozzle casting) will not work on models G5 to the present Avalir II due to the fan case and gasket design. ~Ben

It's true! I ordered my Heritage II with both heads and prefer the 13 inch head, especially now that it has a 4 row brushroll. | ||

Once upon a time.
I modded an old 500 series head to work with the H-L2 speed switch I just drilled a hole in the back of the nozzle, screwed in a bolt and then snapped it off at a proper distance so that low speed would be triggered.
I also bought a Heritage II with the proper small head but I couldn't justify keeping two machines around that were so similar, so i kept the small head and found a spare H2 large head and gave that to a friend who needed a vacuum. It wasn't until later i realized that the headlight "cap" is a little different to accommodate the raised edges on the top of the small nozzle.
