I got this one by Landmark on ebay for around $40 shipped. About $5 for two chrome buttonheads, a chrome acorn nut and chrome spacer from the local hardware store and I am set.

Just out of curiousity - do the 2010s have heim joints already? I looked at my 2001 Fatboy and the linkage is the old style but the dealer I was at on Saturday seemed to imply the new bikes have them - silly me - I didn't actually look at a bike to make sure . . .

Found it at a huge swap meet they have here in Chicago every Winter. They had a bunch of them with sayings like that or other similar stuff.
