I also came up empty looking for one three years ago for my 1972 RK2. But
what I did find was a one-piece, round pan (no tool shelf like the 2-piece
original) at Laguna. It was about $35.
The original pan had sort of crystalized--basically shattered into shards
at the slightest touch! Took a bit o'doing to free the wheel head after
all those years.
If you should find a 2-piece pan, please post the source.
