Default Problem with Sporty Saddlebags

I just picked up a 2006 XL883R with a pair of 53050-04B latching saddlebags.&nbsp\\; The bags lock and latch fine but the outside ring around the latches is cracked on both bags.&nbsp\\; The bike only has 2100 miles on it but I guess the bags could be older.
Anyway, does anyone know if the latches or just the outer dress rings can be purchased and replaced?
Thanks,&nbsp\\; Tad
