I have an '88 with the same problem. I emailed about every salvage yard I could find and had no luck finding one. I ended up buying a new one from http://www.pro-flo.com/proflo_pvl_ignitions.htm for around $380. I'm glad I went this way, no glued on magnets to fall out or chip.
try dirt cycle salvage (also in MA, 508-478-5700, website = www.kersur.net/~honda/). i just got a rebuilt flywheel from them for my 87 -- less than 1/3 the cost of new, and about half what another salvage yard wanted for a used one, after you figure in the credit they gave me for my old flywheel and magnets (the ones that hadn't disintegrated). bike is still in pieces, but the flywheel looks very nice -- with that yellow anodizing on the flywheel itself and LOTS of glue on the magnets...
