Default 79 Ironhead Weld on Hardtail

Hey guys, anyone know where I can find a weld on hardtail for a 79? It seems as though aftermarket parts stop at 1978 for this bike and then pick back up at 1980. Is there something about a 79? Thanks!

"American Classic Motors on Ebay. Alot of guys don't like dealing with them, but if they have what you want, and you get it, who cares? Worse case, you get one for an older model and modify to fit. If you are going to modify your bike, you might as well get used to the idea of modifying EVERYTHING so that it will fit......that's just the way it is.
