I think they are called Baglux. The crop up on e-Bay every now and again. I've always thought of getting one but since getting a Ventura rack I can't see any need for it now.

Yes, all NC30 models use the same tank. I've got one of these covers, they are very nicely made - be careful when you fit the bag, that it doesn't obstruct the tank breather pipe.

Regards,

Dave.

Hi,

I don't know how much one would cost new, I got mine 2nd hand, though £85 seems to ring a bell, or that could have been for the bag. I do remember though, that there was/is a limitation, of two, on the number of colours you can have in the cover, making it impossible to match the original NC30 RWB tank design exactly. Mine is the Red/White diagonal split of the HRC OKI colour scheme.

Regards,

Dave.
