For sale is a pair of BMW K75, K100, K1100 Gen 3 Side Cases painted Marrakesh Red; key goes with the cases. I expect these will also fit late-model airheads with the same Z luggage racks.
Located in Nacogdoches, TX. $350 for the pair, plus actual cost of shipping. I expect shipping to be pricey; I can work out delivery in the East Texas area.
See pics of the cases on my bike below.
Here is a description of Gen 3 cases from Ted's House: http://www.verrill.com/moto/hardcases/bmwhardcases.shtml (http://www.verrill.com/moto/hardcases/bmwhardcases.shtml)
The third and final type of hard cases for classic K bikes, "Gen 3", were available on K75, K100 and K1100 motorcycles from 1990 until 1997. The third generation cases added more usable interior volume making it possible to store a full-faced helmet. BMW also repositioned the round lock cylinders shared with the Gen 2 cases outward for ease of access and use. Third, the Gen 3 cases abandoned the mottled surface of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 bags for a smooth surface, and repositioned the reflector and Roundel. Fourth, BMW replaced the strap handle of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 cases for a sturdier folding hard-plastic handle. Lastly, many of the Gen 3 cases came with the optional rubber guards (as shown to the right.) Note that many of the BMW K1100LT bikes were delivered with Gen 3 bags with the outer lids painted to match the bike.

Nice cases! I have the Gen 2 on my 95 (yes, a 95), and like the pebbled look. These are the correct color for my bike, but I'm not sure I could sneak these in the front door without the wife asking some inquisitive questions like, "Where'd you get those? How much did they cost? Do you enjoy sleeping with Rover?".
