Recently obtained this carbon fiber Kirby.
They were extremely limited addition.
So much lighter than a aluminum with Kirby.

Is this a pic you took.
It looks like aluminum with carbon fiber sticker.
If you took pic it's real. You don't have to polish that. I would like the avalir 2 version but I'd take it.

Almost as good as the bagged Dyson last year.
It's not my vacuum it's a friends. Thought everybody would get a kick out of it though.

Even made for a joke, it really does fit the styling of the Avalir a lot.


I wish Kirby would offer like a customizing service for their vacs if you wanted it painted or something other than chrome, would be pretty cool of them to do, might get more people to buy them too. I only ever seen one custom painted Kirby, in neon lime yellow, and then now RegularRhett's Kirby above.

I seem to recall a thread several years ago with photos of customs done by 'Chicago Mike". They were really nice looking. That said, I don't think I would ever paint a Kirby. I'm just too much a sucker for shiny metal. That said, I'm not above swapping parts around from different models to achieve unique looks.

He did a powder coat the member from south Africa owns it.
I want a Kirby green janitronic. I'm going to see if I can make an 18" nozzle. I think the d80 nozzle as it flattens out two inches or 2.5" on each side you could cut with a band saw. I know you could weld it together. If you tapered the cut parts kind of like a knife going thick to thin. Where the tre thin points would be a place for welding.
I'm sure there's a few ways. I'd paint it get custom stickers and get labels for it.
I think it may be only way to get a janitronic.

LEDs

Actually, the Sentria and later Kirbys don't have light bulbs; they have LEDs. Swapping out an LED assembly shouldn't be that much more complicated than changing a bulb.
