aluminum head tubes for 1 1/8" straight steerers

Are there any sources in the US for aluminum headtubes suited for 1 1/8" straight steerers? Seems I can only find headtubes for tapered forks. ie 44mm. I know I can make this size work for my application, but aesthetically it would be very unsettling. Cheers!

Metal Supermarkets only shows as carrying 6061 and 6065, but fortunately, I contacted BFS and they have the tubing I need, just not listed on their website
