Default Broken Spokes

I popped 2 spokes on the back wheel of my Heritage today, pulling my trailer (and riding hard in the mountains) only 6 months since I trued and tightened the wheel.
Do any of you have a couple chrome spokes for a 16" wheel you can sell me? Dealership wants to sell me a whole kit for an outrageous price.

Hadn't found anything but full sets so far, but one guy from Motocampers is sending me a pair. Oddly, I put on the Fatboy wheels and it seems smoother - I may not be able to sell that back wheel after all - I thought it was my imagination until the ol' lady said "Hey it feels smoother now!"
