The bag is a aftermarket reproduction, but very nicely done.

What a

.....lovely job you have done, I imagine it runs well too.

I have only used this model once (very rare beasts this side of the pond) and I was very impressed with the performance.

Kirby at its best; not to big or heavy, great styling, features far better than its hoover equivalent.


Congrats from middle England, UK.

Clayton,

I bought the bag on eBay a few years ago. Unfortunately, they are no longer being made. Since then, I have replaced it with an original 514 bag. I also found that on eBay.

Excellent

This is a nice restoration job. I love that you rivet on the headlight trim how it came from the factory. The oem bag completes it nicely.
