Using the search terms 'bagster virago 535' turned up several examples for me. My only word of caution is that being a French company, there's every chance that Baglux (the people who sell stuff under the bagster name) will be on siesta for a couple of months. That's not my disdain for the French shining through, that's actual experience; it took two months for my SV one to turn up from the factory, because the stockist didn't have any in black for a pointy. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

Considered an alternative?
VentureSheild. Type it into Google or YouTube and all will be explained.
I put a tank pad on my bike but it looks shit and won't stick properly. There's a few specialist places that apply the stuff, mostly to high-end cars and the like, but you can buy the stuff yourself in sheets to cut and apply, or get specially cut kits for your bike.
Planning to get the tank on my bike done at a place in Northampton.
I had a Baglux cover on my old bike, was a great bit of kit, but had a slightly rough seam on the inside that started to scuff some paint over time. I just cut a small rectangle of felt and pressed it onto the inside of the cover to make it stick. No glue or anything like that. It just clung in place and did the job lovely. ____________________
