Default 97 FLHTC Oil Pressure Switch

I'm looking for a oil pressure switch (part no. 74406-87) for my 1997 FLHTC. I believe Harley Davidson says this part is obsolete..

I've found a few places online that say they have them, but they are not chrome like to one I have. Does anyone know where the best place to purchase a new switch?

Thanks,

They may be on temporary backorder but they're still available with that part number, about $75. Some places sell the VDO version which is not chrome for about 2/3 that price.
