Is the Bell Tail Wheel still being produced? If so how does one get in
touch with Doug Bell Jr. to get one.

I tried to order a Bell Tailwheel a couple of months ago and recieved this reply from Doug Bell:
Dean,
Sorry for not replying sooner. I have actually been buried in painting my
RV8 and between work, that and family obligations I have fallen behind in a
few areas. I was actully at a family reunion on Sat when you left me a
voicemail.
Have you ever felt summers were too busy?
Weel here is the tailwheel fork status:
At this time Dad is not accepting any new orders for his tail wheel fork.
At 80 yrs old he is worried that the current order list will outlive him.
That sounds funny to type, but he is concerned and wants to make sure all
the people who are currently on order get their fork. At that time he will
look to take more orders.
Dad was injured this winter and for several months we were unable to produce
forks and are therefore behind.
I will keep you email on file and contact you when Dad catches up, but that
is likely to be at least a year out.
Sorry for the situation and thanks for the inquiry. We hope to catch up as
fast as we can.
He only sells the fork, not the sealed bearing tailwheel itself.
His cost started at $185 and has gone up about $8 due to steel and shipping
costs....
Let me know if saving your email will work for you and I understand if it
does not.
Sincerely,
Doug Bell, jr.

I decided to order a Screaming Eagle tailwheel and have been very happy with the decision.

Everyone seems to like them and they say they are available, but WHERE
are they available from? Does Bell Tailwheels have a website?

No website, this is a small, retirement shop project of Mr. Bell's (age
80) that has gotten kinda out of hand. 
Messages posted earlier in this thread explain the Bell's situation and
provide email contacts. If you want a tailwheel soon, you're out of
luck. But if you can wait, you might still be able to get a Bell unit
sometime in the distant future by using the email addresses provided in
the earlier posts. Mr. Bell and his son are very nice folks who have
been sort of forced into tailwheel production once people discovered the
quality of the unit coming out of their shop.
I have a Bell on my RV-6 and it is a nice piece.
