Genuine are hard to find now. Basicly have to wait for some to pop up on ebay or from a hoarder.
Keyster has 2 options if it comes to that.

I tried to buy from them before. When I got to the checkout it stopped me. Said something like "store closed or "store down" or some crap.

There was a post on the LC Crazy forum that there was a place in the UK that could supply
genuine 5K1 needles and had something like 46 in stock.
I'll have a look and see who they were.
