I was having some issues with the wiring on an 85 v65 sabre. I checked the fuse block and they seemed loose. I pulled the block apart to find this:

Most of the connections are either broken off or cracked and going to break off. The fuse doesnt make a good connection for any of them.

Honda doesnt make them anymore and I'm scared to buy old used ones if this one looks this bad. Any idea on a way to fix it?

Buy an aftermarket fuse block. Painless sells them.

when u looked to see if they made them did they do a parts search or only look in the catalog? GM has a parts locator that shows parts that dealers have even if they are discontinued.

I had a 650 Nighthawk with the same problem. I stripped some copper wire and folded it over the fuse spade so it would make connection. Not a good fix, but it worked for me.
