Thibault Importations Storage Box

Has anyone seen or used these as storage boxes? I have a local dealer that has them in stock at roughly half off. They are big and roomy and appear very sturdy. Any thoughts?

I have never seen them before, but I like the way they open from the arms, and from the back. Looks like a nice box if the price is right.

I actually went ahead and bought it. I got it for $225. The back opens down and away from the bike and only the left arm has an opening for storage as the other side is actually part of the storage in the back. Both storage areas have the ability to lock, as well as extra clamping to secure the lids. I'm impressed with it's construction. It has the wiring for the large LED tail/brake light and it's pre-wired for a heated seat and hand grips. Only initial concern is the height of the passenger backrest. It's a little more high profile than I was wanting, but I guess I can live with it. It might save my my melon in a rollover one of these days. As soon as the weather breaks and I get some pictures done, I'll post a few.
