Good news ,I know of a perfect set removed from a new 79 special the day of new purchase ,hanging wrapped in oiled cloth off a wall.
Bad news, the fookwit wants $5000   yes    Five thousand dollars for them!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Try the XS650 clubs sites around the world, or maybe even "Wasp" (Walter) on this forum. cheers Tim754
