Phil at Road and Race in Australia has them. John at mdinaitalia.co.uk too. Possibly Bob Miller? New ones.

I have a spare set that I was going to put on eBay at some time; they're off a 900SS, were stripped for re-chroming, nickel plated, but then my chromer gave up cos it was knackering all his chemical baths with the old combustion products and crud. They also have a repair to the inside of the RHS one where the PO mal-adjusted the spindle and cut the conti! And they've still got some evidence of pitting on them even with the nickel on (hopefully that would cover up with the chrome).
Cheers
Geoff

Chrome is transparent. You need more copper and polishing to fill and fix the pits. Then the polished and buffed nickel is for the chrome to stick to.

Noted Den; looks like they're off to eBay then!! With that health warning... Cheers!
