I now have the 30k I'm waiting on my 2196 an I may purchase the suede and another piece of linen because I found out that JNS sells both replacements replacement and I kinda wanna try his suede because I like the suede on my Pegasus.

I got the suede attachment for my 30k and 6300. It is a nice addition. I used them to replace the canvas until I get them a bit softer. I washed them and they came out pretty nice, but I think I can get them softer.

You won't regret getting the suede.
