Beefier brake hoods for Dia-Compe levers

Hi all,

As some of you may already know, I recently acquired a 1990 Cannondale ST400. I've gotten the right bars and stem on it, and when I went out for a quick test ride this morning I noticed that riding on the hoods felt a little odd. I'm coming from modern brifters on my road bike, and they just seem to fill out my hands much better and are more comfortable to hold on to. So, my question to you is: does anyone know where I might find some beefier hoods that'll work with Dia-Compe XCT levers? I'm not even sure if they exist, as every google search I've done has yielded only the standard type.

Thanks!
