Jeff,
It depends on whether or not you feel that you have to have a NEW set,
or if you can be content with used tubes. Personally, I would call Mark
at Moto Guzzi Classics and see what he has laying around. If you want to
go with new, Forking By Frank should have them, as should MG Cycle. You
might as well consider seals and springs while you have everything
apart.
