This useful post from Footie gives a number of suppliers Patsy.

SLA suppliers

You can't just buy the complete battery for your bike though. Inside the case are three 12 volt batteries wired together, so you'll need to open up the case or find someone to do that for you so those batteries can be replaced.

Then the connections should be noted so the new ones can be reconnected properly.

They come in various sizes, so you'll need to take the three dimensions of a battery in millimetres to be able to order the correct type.

do you need to replace all three at once or is it ok to mix old with new ?

All three at once. Mixing battery ages is always a bad idea and potentially leads to premature failure. In any case, one underperforming one in a series will limit performance to that one's level.
