Check the for sale threads on here. Try the junk yard and the dealer. I have seen the forks for sale on ebay also

Majestic honda. Bolt's are a couple bucks. You can use an Easy out to get the old bolt out.

You tighten that **** up without a torque wrench and the bolts snap. Honda hardware's just barely strong enough.

On Majestic Honda the fork is like $ 40 and a bolt is $ 0.70. I know this because I just stripped the hell out of that same bolt and fork last week and I needed to replace it. You can still use the messed up fork by drilling that sucker out and get another bolt and nut to keep shock in place, just take it easy till the parts come in though.
