Here is my pic that Pinterest has one of it's top 50 Kirby pics.
Easiest upgrade. The legend 2 bag is on it. If you can live with the style no need to get bag altered.

I have two 519s. One is all original, and the other has been upgraded.
It has a higher axle with wider wheels, heritage handle, longer cord, new fan, and hepa bag setup. Here they are for comparison. |

You can keep the original bag and emptor if you’re willing to do a little DIY. I’ve converted all my former shake-out Kirby’s to this system and it works very well.
