1992 Peak Pro Circuit CR125 Build

Trust me, if they were the correct ones to fit my bike i'd pay that instantly!

Well this lot has been keeping me (and my dad!) seriously busy the past few weeks! Frame originally seemed ok, but theres some major man hours gone into this thing. Had it blasted first to make it easier to work on. (Was left in the rain for 2 minutes hence the surface rust which washes off).

There was around 5 or 6 threads that were stripped out in the frame/subframe so welded them up and drilled/tapped them to as new.

It looks as though the p/o had stripped the rear brake pivot out, fitted a longer bolt with a washer/nut that had come loose, and over the years worn the welded on boss half away. It was beyond repair so i got measurements of how it should be and had my uncle turn me a new one up on his lathe and welded it on, good as new!



Previous owner had drilled footpeg mount holes slightly bigger so he could use big bolts/nuts - god knows why! So welded them up and ground/filed them smooth. I wont go into details but it was a horrible job getting them redrilled in the correct place! Hours of work later they're another job completed off the list.



The other night i cut some glide plate mounts from some 4mm steel. As already mentioned, pc modified their WC Glide plates quite a bit, infact 4 edges cut back with some more rounded edges, so sorted that too. Welded tabs to frame and used rivnuts instead of welding nuts on as theyre a really neat option to use when powdercoating as theres no welds and look like an orignal honda mounting. (Pic before rivnuts added)





Anyway, its all finished, and subframe/frame are at the powdercoaters, finally! Should be back later this week ready to start putting this thing together...

Wow, almost forgot the biggest issue! A small area of the frame rails underneath (approx 2" long) were beaten up from where a glide plate hadnt been used. The rails were all built up with weld before being ground and sanded back to smooth finish. I was worried how i'd get it sorted originally but i'm chuffed with how its turned out and at least itll be really strong the way it was done.

Frame back from powdercoat. Top quality job done by Central Wheel! The fun begins...

Thanks guys, its getting there! Haha i try to work in the cleanest environment as it makes everything so much easier... The bench in the other pics is just out of shot to the right of this picture...

@Kidkawie, thanks bud but Racetech only do plastics for new bikes and i would only have acerbis do them anyway (not that i am doing that)

@YZ125, yes, bolts were added in all threads to keep them fresh and vin number was masked and then clear lacqeured. The powdercoat company did that for me...

@Ryan, awesome theyre a sweet bike! PC ran 19" Sun rims on the bikes in 1991/1992 as opposed to stock 18".

Thanks dude but yeah theyve been posted before, wrong shape

Ryan that looks a gem! Did you say you're going to do a Peak bike or something different?

1992 Works Showa HRC Shock done! New bushes, seals, seal head, bladder and bump rubber, all NOS.

All stripped, cleaned and rebuilt, spring retainer parts zinc plated, shock adjuster anodised red and spring powdercoatee by Central Wheel.

Thanks bud. Heres the plastics! I traded my Acerbis fork guards for UFO as theyre a much better shape. I had the option of some white Acerbis rad shrouds but theyre a different shape to stock and they graphics wouldnt fit so went with UFO. All the rest is NOS Acerbis. Front fender is on its way from USA now.

Yeah, honestly they look unreal, i'm over the moon with how they turned up. We colour matched it exactly to the bottom part of my seat cover and specially ordered the paint, came out spot on! The finish is really really good, looks just like genuine plastic finish. Cost £80 (around $140) to have it painted by a car bodyshop, but glad i did.

Yes, UFO fitment number boards and fender are way different to the Acerbis ones. You should be able to find some Acerbis number boards fairly easily if you keep your eyes peeled, but the acerbis fenders (any colour btw) are hard to come by.

Thanks dude, means a lot!

Original swingarm was way beyond repair so picked this up on ebay



Finished! I didnt keep track but there's days and days of work gone into this, but chuffed with the outcome



All brand new parts for the Swingarm. Again, big thanks to Jason and the lads at Motocross World for sorting it all out! (Swingarm steel inserts and screws arent available to buy alone so just blasted and had them zinc plated)



Swingarm dialled. Brake parts vapour blasted, internals zinc plated, NOS banjo bolts and an almost brand new brake hose from Dirk Timmer in the Netherlands.

Thanks for the support again guys! It's nice to finally start seeing it go together...

And yeah, onedaywhip, i've basically been going through the parts finder section by section getting the parts together, and ordering up new parts with a checklist. It's definitely expensive but at least i know i've not missed anything and each part is spot on by the time it goes on the bike...

On the downside, my brain is completely filled with useless Honda part #s and i think i could draw out the parts finder drawings from memory haha!

I now have all brand new Honda motor internals, all ready to be built up but waiting on ONE small bearing that's on backorder!! Patience...
