Hi all

Quick question for the weekend. I am looking at a 2010 5120g currently and I found that one but the original strap is gone.

Thanks all

Kev

They actually told me when I asked again that they don’t know.

Only told me the springbars are original but that this model was either steel or gold depending on the year. Is that possible ? Kev
