I purchased a brand new new style silencer from CGH Imports, hoping the old one would fit. Then found an almost brand new 91/92 PC Silencer. Purchased that and the tube that connects silencer to expansion pipe is way longer than my new one? And its a different diameter to my new pipe, so I cant swap it over.
I'm stumped now! Spent a fortune on silencers I cant use haha! Could you measure the inner diameter of the main part of the silencer please? So I can see the outer diameter of your end cap to see if it would work with my new pipe? Also any other pics of it please?
Thanks bud!
A previous owner had welded studs in place of the rivets, and slotted the body to suit, making it messy, and making everything wobbly.
I've re-drilled the ends, and have re-riveted through 0.8mm stainless strap to tidy it all up, but it's not original.
The visible portion of the end cap is unmolested though, so the offer of it to copy stands if you wish.
Ironically, my current DEP header / PC silencer combo fits perfectly.
If I try to fit my DEP silencer I have, the bolt hole in the subframe is 5mm out???
I'll stick the verniers on the end cap tonight for you.
Cap OD / sleeve ID is 60mm

Really appreciate your help! Shame about your silencer these things are so rare now!
Here's a pic of my 2 silencers. My new 92 silencer from CGH Imports, and my old style cr125 silencer that i was told was from a 91/92 but is a completely different fitment as you can see.
Just got the verniers out and my old style silencer is 60mm inner diameter (same as yours, with the new silencer inner diameter of 62mm. I need to make up the 2mm somehow unless i can find an old style pc end cap with a 62mm OD.
If I had those 2 pipes, I'd end up cutting a strip of 0.9mm stainless to sandwich between the 62mm sleeve, and 60mm cap.
If you made a neat job of it, you'd need to be quite eagle eyed to spot it.
Or you get a new connecting pipe made for the '92 silencer - at least you have the other as a template.
My 93 is 62mm end cap. ask this guy to measure his may be an option?
Thanks rovalova ive emailed the guy, ill let you know his reply!

Also this might work for you if the canister is the measurement you need, could always swap out the join pipe with your new one and its all new! It says has standard style end cap, better check which one that is!

I emailed them a few weeks ago asking to double check what end cap. They said its not in stock they just get whatever comes from the distributor, and it'll be the latest one, meaning the new shape unfortunately
Brandon, i can get any little bits like that sorted at the end, just gotta get an old style cap to fit my new silencer ideally
Supposedly, this is the same paint and paint adhesion promoter the auto body guys use on plasic flexible bumpers. It should hold up decent. I have more paint so I might risk it at some point.
For whatever it's worth, PC was known for painting the tanks on the Splitfire CRs (white) and would often paint the sidecovers of the SF Kawies (black) as a cost-saving measure.
A company I've used, Plastic Renovations, has proprietary plastic painting and restoration services. He can do restoration to several different levels depending on how badly the plastic is damaged/scratched/oxidized. You can find them on FB. The work is top-notch and I have NEVER had any kind of issue with the painting Phil has done on my bikes' plastic. The end result looks completely NOS. Just throwing it out there if anyone can use the resource.
Drilled rivets out of both, end cap slotted straight in perfectly off the kx125 one and all holes line up. Just need to get the body cut down to the same length as the team ones were, fit the old style sticker and rivet on the new (old style) end cap! Chuffed thanks everyone for your help!
Great to hear mate.
Heres the bulge i mentioned haha..

Happy it's another thing off the list though and i can move on! Been a couple of set backs the last week or so but frame should be finished this week and off to powdercoaters, and the big Honda order will be collected saturday all going well
Stevie (StevieD113 on here) found a hairline crack in my outer water pump case that's just too much work to sort, so ordered up another one off ebay today to have sent straight to him to be sorted with the rest of the motor parts.

I am doing a cr125 91 pc peak replica. I see that you found a works skide plate for your 92. I am lucky to live in Corona and can go check the bikes at Pro circuit when I need to. Did you notice that the skid plat is cut on the pc bike, both 91 and 92?
Here's the pic i was going off for the angled glide plate underneath. I also have the pink/blue old style N-style sticker that goes at the front underneath the logo, been hanging onto it for years
I'm pumped to get hold of 2 NOS '92 discs, coil, gear lever, top clamp (bar clamps on the way), chain guide (metal and rubber), all clutch/brake levers/rubbers//clamps, throttle and clutch cables etc.. Pretty much every bolt, washer, nut, spacer, seal will be NOS Honda.
Also, it's really hard to make a bike an exact replica just for the reason that multiple bikes were used in a season, esp. on a large satellite team like PC. A part may be on a bike for one moto, gone the next. Heck, I understand PC often painted the tanks on the actual race bikes. Who wants to do that now? Yeech.
My advice is to pick what you have actual period documentation for and go with that as your model. Any Team Peak PC Honda if executed well is going to be the bee's knees.
Troy Lee painted the tanks in 91 for Mitch to the blue colour, but in 92 they ran the stock 92 white tank which i have...
I know my bike isn't going to be an exact replica down to each part and bolt but i'm just doing the best I can and use most parts the same as they ran on the majority of the 92 season.
Here's my 92 CR125 shock...
Here's the shock on the 92 Peak bike...
And here's the 89 onward CR250/500 shocks that are on sale (notice the angled shock body top and the square adjuster as opposed to my circular one with 2 flat edges...
The '92 CR250 Showa 43mm front end should be a direct bolt-on to the 1992 CR125. One of the "cures" for the '89-'91 45mm Showas was to swap the '92 CR250 front (triples bolt right up and you get the 43mm forks).
As long as the '92 CR250 shock reservoir is the right angle, and the upper shock bearing and the clevis work with the '91 CR125 frame, can't you have a suspension shop modify the shock travel if needed? Then you'd have a complete Showa suspension (and probably better suspension to boot)?
