Brad,
There is a list available on the Internet for these types of bikes, the VJMC
List, or Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club list. Perhaps you could find a
bike for sale there, or get leads on one. Mind you, since they are
passionate enthusiasts of their particular genre of bike, they will likely
have the same inflated opinion of the worth of their bikes as we do of ours
here, so you may not necessarily find a screamin' deal there, but you could
at least find bikes for sale.

I'm helping my dad search for a bike. He has his mind set on an early
'70s honda 4 cylinder that runs but needs work - he'd prefer a 350, but
a 400 through 550 is OK. We just lost a '73 CB350 on ebay the other
day. Some guy snuck in with 5 minutes left and I was taking care of my
son, who's getting teeth and cranky about it, and I couldn't get logged
in to counter-offer in time - oh well, the little guy is definitely
higher on the list than a bike.
Anyway, I've been searching all the usual suspects - ebay,
motorcycleshopper.com, motorcycles.com, and I have an adhound set up on
abracat (searches all newspaper classifieds every day).
Does anyone know of such a bike or any other good sources to look in?
There's no real hurry and the most important criteria is that the bike
be in the midwest - preferrably Iowa but surrounding states are OK too.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
BTW - if he can't find a Honda he'd like to find a loop! I don't think
he's there yet, though.
Thanks,
Brad
