On the used market, it's my understanding few 407s came with short gear, so it's one of those things you need go look for. Try posting wanted ads in the more popular aviation-based sites like Controller, Barnstormers, and Trade-A-Plane in the US. Another place to try is 407 completion centers. I had looked for some for a client years ago, but after flying a 206 on low skids he stayed with the high gear.

On the new side, as far as I know, there's only one after market company that sells low 407 x-tubes, Aeronautical Accessories. However, they are now owned by Bell so I don't know how their pricing changed. I don't believe Dart offers a low gear on the 407.
