Hello All.
My wife and I returned on Saturday from a 2200 mile ride through the midwest. Problem is I returned without my right side (system) case. It flew off after a particularly good bump on I-75 coming north out of Cincinnati. A Mercedes Sprinter caught it under carriage and was kind enough to pull over with us and ask for my insurance. Thank God it didn't hit my wife's bike as she rode behind me... Needless to say the case was ruined beyond use. Problem was that it was painted from BMW to match the bike. Most system cases are matte black and to find one in Champagne is a needle in the haystack. Hard to find I'm sure (or very expensive).
I'd like to find another and would like to know good used parts shops. I have been looking at the marketplace here, Beemer Boneyard, and e-bay. What others do you recommend?

Right side Case (or a paintable pair).
