Member FrankenFrankStuff (or something close to that) lists new repo side covers in the Parts For Sale section. His are top quality and he's in New England.

Most of the people that migrate away from glass fuses do so because they struggle to find correct size fuses and availability of them. If yours/block are in good condition, fry a larger fish.

That M-unit looks neat. Wonder how well those work?   

Here's his web-store link:

I just drool when looking at that page. Definitely on my short list for parts.

I got some replacement side cover grommets on eBay because mine were rock hard and useless. These grommets seem to be really close in size, but they grab the side covers a little too well. I've even tried a a dab of heavy grease, motor oil, and WD-40. And the covers still want to stick in the grommets. But at least I know they aren't going to fall off while riding.

It's good to periodically lube or grease those rubber grommets. Otherwise they shrink and dry, and then you can lose a cover.
