pm "xseal" he's building a 1000SS racebike. he might let you in on where he found his.
Good luck. I ordered an Ohlins from a couple different sources and was told that Ohlins Sweden discontinued the model. We tried ordering the parts separately from Ohlins Sweden, I waited a month and a half before giving up.
I finally ordered a Toby from LP, and was told it was the last one they had in stock and that it was discontinued as well.
Check on Hyperpro, someone along the way told me they made one. You could also check other sources for a Toby and see if someone has them in stock.
I think the best you an do for Ohlins is buy a generic one, get the 50mm fork mount, and fabricate a mount for the frame.
If you find a source for Ohlins, pls let me know. I'd like to buy the frame mount, at a minimum.

I bought a used one. Bitubo. I don't know if they still make them, but you can add it to your list of manufacturers to check. It has five+ clicks of adjustment, seems to be sufficient to do the job.

No luck with the Ohlins kit, but I ordered a Hyperpro from KneeDraggers.com for the 900SS (HP505747) $439.95 + $9.00 shipping I hope it will fit.
But it won't be here for this weekend.
They do have the Ohlins kit for the 900SS but it only lists it til the '01 model. They sent me a price quote for that one of $409.00, but I don't think it will fit.

I have 2 900SSie kits (the second one is sitting around, a friend threw it in with a bunch of other stuff I got from him). Both are DP offerings, one with a Zacharia damper, the other I can't recall, but here it is mounted (the frame clamp is on the down tube near the red clamp at the center of the damper body:xseal said:
On both kits, the clamps for the frame tubes are correct, the fork one needed 0.5mm shims (feeler guages work perfectly).
