Anybody have a set of these?

Anybody know of a decent workable, repairable set of these Buco Twinmaster saddlebags for sale? I always loved the way these bags were shaped, and they actually look good on a rigid framed bike, too - not too big, not too small.
These bags found their way onto not only Harleys, but Beemers, Hondas, and a bunch of other makes/models. There are quite a few "surviving" sets out there, repops are available, and the guy on Ebay that wants $999.00 for a NOS set (without hangers) is out of his fucking mind!
They don't have to be as pristine as this set (actually, these examples are currently available repops), but a set that could use some TLC - by that I mean not a set that somebody smashed the side out of with a hammer, or slid on them for 50ft down the highway. They don't have to have the hangers, as I'll have to make my own anyways, and the lights aren't a necessity, either. But, as complete as possible as far as latches go, although there are repop replacements available, on those, too. Let me know what you have.....Fatbob, got a line on any?

    I thank you both for the leads, but that Stockton CL set is pretty fuckered up, those I saw on Ebay, too. It's the set that inspired my "side bashed in with a hammer..." comment, haha!

    Hey Noot, very cool....let me know which gas station you've staked out, so I don't have to drive all over town looking for you, OK?
