They usually are not cheap. Sometimeago i reckon i paid about $400 US for 2 of them.

Looks like you missed this bargain though

Yep i already have plans to send mine to Porky. When, i dont exactly know but it is in the planning. I want him to replace the bottom layer which is a bit ragged around the tank cap area, otherwise the rest still looks like new.

These are the 2 i got. They also had them without a tank cap hole and instead there was a square edge and the front was held on with a strap through 2 slits in the base. I dont know why they call them a bag though as you really cant fit much them. These ones basically have 2 flaps that fold out. The one one ebay above looked like mine.

I had one of the old Kelly copies up till the early 90's - but sold it with a bike....  Still kicking myself!!

I once spoke to the old owner of Kelly (before Porky took over) and he wasn't interested in reproducing them...  If you can convince Porky to make them, I'll be in for 2 of them in Blue.

I spoke with Phil Today

i explained the interest in this particular item , he doesnt have the pattern for them but will speak with the previous owner of the kelly Business and get back to me.

It sounded like Phil would interested in making them.

Cool, like I said, I'll buy at least 2, possibly 3.

When I spoke to the old owner (at one of the 4 Days from memory), he wasn't interested as he considered it too hard...  I think all he wanted to do was make his bumbags and nothing else...
