The inside pockets are kind of neat.

IndianaCollins · Post by **IndianaCollins** » Sun Mar 16, 2003 11:41 am

looks pretty much like a Mkvii to me(but im no expert), except for that button down pocket inside, and the way it has that 1 divider in the middle. could be a mkvi, but i cant verify that.

IndianaCollins · Post by **IndianaCollins** » Sun Mar 16, 2003 11:42 am

oh, yeah, my WPG mkvii has 2 drain vents in the bottom, i notice this bag only has 1

Could be an MK vi but I'm not sure. Looks good and old though. That and a Keppler strap, boom, you've got a satchel.

It's a MK-VII because a MK-VI only has 3 pockets inside the main flap, and that one has five. Also I've seen MK-VII's & MK-VI's with 1, 2 and 3 drain holes. You can also tell it's a VII because on the 1st pic on the page, you can kinda see the metalic disk on the side of the bag, and only MK-VII's have them. hope this helps.

Wel l if you do get it I suggest using paint thinner or acitone to remove the name inside.
Then rince with water.

I've done that with a flight suit and it removed the ink quickly.

From the color, the snap pocket, the D-rings, and the barely visible Canadian Broadarrow, I'd say it was a Canadian MK-VII.

Thanks for all the quick responses guys... now I only gotta wait to see if I win it.

I'd agree. It definitely looks Canadian. I bought 3 of those from a company in Australia a year or so ago for $60.00 shipped. Sold them for about $100. Not to bad a profit.

It's a MKVI bag, I've got one from the Roadster Factory before they ran out. The inside snap pocket and single drain are the only differences. I prefer my MKVI to the MK7. The one in the auction looks pretty well used, but might wash up OK.

Michigan Smith · Post by **Michigan Smith** » Sun Mar 16, 2003 4:47 pm

Sorry, and the strap side ring shape is different btwn MK6 & 7

Indiana · Post by **Indiana** » Sun Mar 16, 2003 5:17 pm

I still got the bid... hopefully i wont get sniped!

I'ld say mk-vii. didn't the mk-vi have clips on the strap rather than it being stitch on?

IndianaJames · Post by **IndianaJames** » Mon Mar 17, 2003 12:49 pm

Chamorro is right - Canadian issue MKVII -
Did you end up winning?!

Yes, I did end up winning. I'll get the money order out soon. Then when I get back from vacation I can take some better pictures and we can finally decide. Maybe there are other marks though. Who knows?

Congrats on the win. It will serve you well. Any idea what strap you want to use on it?

Indiana · Post by **Indiana** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 1:30 pm

Im thinking a Nh... I might get a LK though... Decisions Decisions...
I think I have ID'd it as a MKVI there are pictures on Indygear that show the One drainage hole and the snapped inside flap.

These are the pictures on Indy Gear that I have posted. When I recieve my bag I'll get some pictures up.

IndianaJames · Post by **IndianaJames** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 6:44 pm

The single drain hole is the giveaway, I have seen MKVII's with a small snap pocket inside though....

Nice find. Lee Keppler has a MKVII with the small inside pocket that snaps. It's very cool.

This is definitely NOT a MKVI. The MKVI has 2 small D-rings on the front, which the MKVII doesn't. In addition, the MKVI has 2 large vertical pockets with snaps on the back of the bag.

Check it out, this one is from my collection:

Above is back of bag
