Where are guys finding your project bikes?

I've been hitting up Craigslist, eBay, recycler and cycletrader and I just can't find a reasonable price for an older Honda. I don't really care if its a cb165, 350, 450, etc. It seems that every ad I find regardless of the bike even running has the title "Cafe" in there and has a price to match :(

I've been hitting up yard/estate sales as well to hopfully find someone who doesn't know saying "Cafe" garners a $1,000.00 price bump.

Is there a secret stash of bikes that someone wouldn't mind cluing me in to? Thanks!

cafe's just a word...

don't buy a bike with cafe in the title. buy a bike that you can strip down and make into what you want.
I agree 100% I'm just saying down here in southern California any bike thats pre 80's gets a vintage and cafe tag regardless of quality.

Just been getting frustrated, maybe I'll just wait till fall when people start thinking about storage.
