cool little bike.  Rebuilt quite a few "back in the day" (so long ago I don't remember when it was).   Most likely no best place, you'll be ebaying a lot.  Check Ron Ayers, Motogrid, MRcycles, even your local shop if there is one.  Does it run now? ...Larry

Jack at www.dratv.com should have a few things for it.

People at the LiLHonda web site might have a few things ratholed. Production numbers on those bikes were vastly smaller than the early 70's so parts are rare. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

nope,it don't,and the last time it does,its  like 30 years ago!

I have found re-mx.com they seem to have lots of parts for it.

Check out http://re-mx.com/qa50

I've gotten a few obscure Honda dirt bike parts from them in the past.

There's this place as well http://vintagehondaminitrails.com/  but I don't know anything about them.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:
