If you mean the barrel shaped ones fitted to BSA and triumphs? You can get replicas from any british spares retailer. The replicas are not of the same quality as the originals which were anti vibration (supposedly). If you are some sort of poor impoverised student with thoughts of bobber urban style I might even have an old pair in the pile o munt that lives in the garage.... probably... they would be well used though...

Looks like you've hardtailed it, going by the way the rear legs connect the backbone. Have you tried a peanut tank on it?
By all means, post up on here.
Also we have set up forums on our site now specifically for custom builds and cruisers, so by all means feel free to head that way and post a running build thread. The forum is pretty dead at the moment, being fairly new.

Its a good start mate. Some tricky fabrication ahead of you still.
Hard to make the stock tanks look great eh?
