A marmite addition i guess but seen a few on eBay a couple of weeks ago but put off buying one and now they seem to have gone for good. Were only £40 or so, anyone know where to get them for similar money?

Ah nice one dude, there were some 10" deep ones and some with lil M-Tech stripes in the corner which looked really good. I'll wait it out and see if any re-appear!

Cheers bud

I have one here I'll sell, was using it on my touring.

It has a slight cut in it from my accident, but otherwise unmarked.

Yeah sorry bud, i might wait for one of the M-Tech striped ones if they come up as it's a similar price and i quite fancy one.

Sorry to have wasted your camera battery! I'm sure someone will have it!
