Where can I find either a new or refurb motor for a '02 Honda Elite CH80?

Fix the old or replace? What to do? It has under 2000 miles. The bolt at the bottom was removed and installed incorrectly which led to it's demise. The chain loosened which allowed the piston to hit the cylinder. I paraphrased what the repair guy said to me. I don't think anyone sells just motors...
 
I think that sounds like the cam chain came loose and the piston has hit the valves. This is fairly serious damage and even if you could get new parts, it would be very expensive (probably more than the worth of the bike)
A bike wreckers might have an engine, but they usually charge a lot for junk, and it may not be any better than the one you have.
 
Search eBay if you can't find something there go and try to Google Motorcycle Salvage Yards. Call them and ask. Did this when building a sportster. If you still can't find it you may have to just rebuild the motor.
