They are pretty rare (not helpful, I know)

You might try pinging Duck Stew. At some point in the past he "knew a guy who knew a guy"

Sometimes new magnesium ones show up on eBay from the Netherlands. Sub $200.

contact Brook Henry Howley, I'm pretty sure he has some.
I've got 2 -I think- that I'd part with.

You'll find theres's 2 types, the lower profile ones from the round case and the larger profile from the square case. the larger one will hit ya battery box on the rear head, so you''ll have to mod one or the other...

If you have a 2v up to about 05-07 you can put ones from a Pantah directly on it.

Other sources include the Alazzurras.

The 650 was the last engine to have them, they went to smooth with the first 750 (Paso) and every engine after that.

Haha no worries man. I guess I'll need 3 high profiles and one low, but at a pinch I could just get 2 since you can't even see the vert cylinder ones. I'll see how I go and might get back to you. I figured as much about the cooler bracket, I'll be able to fab something up for that I think.
