Buy them on eBay. There are usually plenty of broken carburetors there. As long as one of the bodies is good. Just try to get the same ones as yours. Similar doesn't work. I tried to swap a body in from a XS650, as it's the same carburetor, or so I thought.
I had my broken post repaired at MOTORCYCLECARBS.COM. It is a very good fix, but the turnaround wasn't any too quick. It's the only way to fix it right.
