Try Wayback Wheels or Resurrection Cycles. Tom Faber makes new ones.

There is two types made brazed and welded depending on what type your building or you may not care?

Thanks for answers,
I'm looking for an original one, brazed would be great, but welded will be OK also.

Hello;
Okay, so you need a WLA handlebar measuring 87cms at the end of your rubber grips and it must follow the top of the tank in parallel.
For your information, the WLC handlebar are 81cms at the end of the rubber grips and it is found in a higher position than that of the WLA.
With a WLA, you have a slightly sportier driving; with a WLC ,a more straight drinving see raised.
My brother and me have a mi type IV and a late 43WLC and my statements confirmed by friends in France and Luxembourg with Harley WLA and WLC.
Hoping that can help you.
Regards;
Serge
