Overseas is usually cheaper than what you can get in Aust. Bagster and Top Sadlery (Top Sellerie) are the only two I know of, but I've had both, and like the Bagster ones better only because the forward clips are easier to use than the type used on the other. Sort of a rotatling round clip on the Bagster, but the other had a version of a spring clip, bit like a carabiner, but harder to get to. Sorry no pics.

I thought I bought mine there as well Streak, as the website looked familiar, but I found that I got mine through

 http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/001166/Bagster-Tank-Cover?pt=221&rg=12&sg=OR&st=pt&sf=latest&sd=DESC

I'm maybe sort of in the market for another, as mine was shredded pretty well when the screen shattering into big, sharp shards and embedded themselves into the tank cover in my rear end examination of a Mazda 6, but I couldn't see anywhere where I could order one through bagster.com to check their pricing for the cover and postage.

Bagsters must be made on demand, as Intobikes need 21 or so days for despatch, and I can remember they were the cheapest at the time and great to deal with, but I also found baglux.co.uk also do Bagster covers, a few & more than intobikes. Having said that, they don't make it easy to find out postage, so maybe if there is more than a few of us going to get one, we could order in one and save on postage.

The Top Saddley (top sellerie) ones are 60 euro, which is again cheap, but I'd rather the Bagster front clips, so they're out for me.

I'll be pulling bits off the old bike tomorrow, so I'll check out the cover to see if it is fixable, and if not, see if it might be worthwhile doing a single order for 2 or more?

I also brought my bagster, and one for Foxy as well, from Intobikes in the UK, I found them great to deal with and the 2 bagsters and one tank bag that I ordered arrived prior to the expected delivery date. I'd certainly use them again if I needed to! :grin

I bought mine from Carlisle http://www.ctaaustralia.com.au/products/category_list/WWQYJPIS. That was nearly 10 years ago and its still works well, though the tank cover has faded badly. I notice that they dont list the ST1300 anymore but I'm sure they could get them in.

No matter where you buy them from they're all made to order in France by Bagster! :grin

Even though the two brands are a bit different (material is different, and the front fasteners are as well), I wonder if one company bought the other out, as their web site colors are exactly the same, and it seems Bagster have a history of acquisitions. Oh yeah, and they are both French companies. :think1
