I seem to be having trouble finding new air tanks to replace the outboard "torpedo" tanks above the drive wheels on my 05. Does anybody know of a source for replacements. I may be interested in polished stainless steel (at least till they price them to me) but I need to find a stock size for a reasonable price I am sure. I have Googled and Googled to no luck for the small diameter and long lengths. Any input here would be a great help as I need to get the brackets fabed up soon. Thanks guys
