The frame sticker is placed

The wheel is finally installed I also put the DID gold chain


I just have to order the Excel rim and find the Works pipe but I will continue the end of the restoration next year because I go on a professional trip for 3 months.

Your bike looks fantastic Godcho. Great job.

I’m finishing up my motor rebuild on my 92 250. I still have a long, long way to go.

I never did start up that 95 I did. I decided to leave it brand new with only tranny oil in it.
The value of just seeing it sitting complete and brand new each day out weighs the urge to fire it and hear it run.

Anyways I love your rim choice.

From "The green guide" Whistling Tongue

seeing the sticker on the tank of the rear shock, I deduce that you are also from the south of France?
If so, it could well be that one day we are on a motocross track Wink

Hi Maxx MRP!
I finally take the time to answer you.
Yes I already crossed on the group of "vintage renovation MX" on FB Wink
No I just did the complete overhaul of the fork and the damping of the 125 at CKR Suspension. I come from Orleans and I drive only in"Région Centre" Smile

I have the opportunity to buy a vintage Pro circuit muffler. But I have a doubt about the number of rivets that look too many important at the back of the silencer: There must be 6. Is it original or it's something that has been repaired? It's not 3 screws at the base?

Some news about the project which is almost finished.

The first good news: after more than a year of research, I should finally receive a brand new Pro Circuit works pipe which should arrive in February.


I found a new EXCEL front rim for $ 75 at a private seller.



I bought a pair of OEM Honda radiators because my left radiator had a micro leak. I will replace it and have the break repaired afterwards to make a stock of replacement parts.


I bought some goodies from the 90s: a vintage poster from the Pro Circuit Honda PEAK team signed by Steve LAMSON. I'm going to frame it and decorate it in my garage.


A huge RAD N BAD poster with a beautiful pinup in a 90's spirit!

Great additions to your bike and garage.
How in the world are you resolving the issue of no spoke kit for the front wheel.
I’m in the same boat as you since no way could I have saved my old spokes and thusly cut my hub out.

Months later with my hub restored from several hours work and ready to finish my hub I can not find a spoke kit. I can find one side or the A side but not the other.

Sorry for the late response.
I'm on a Face Book Francais group of old motorcycle renovation and speaking of my worries, a guy from the group who owns a motorcycle shop sent me a spoke kit at the right size.
Besides, I made it shine last week: here is the final rendering.


I also received a big box with a piece that I have been waiting for months ...






In the week I mount the Dunlop on the front wheel and the bike will be finished and I could finally start it.
I think I would stick more vntage stickers on the fork and I should also put a discreet hour counter

Replacement of the carburetor seal kit and the choke. (I forgot to put the photos)




I did not want engine oil on my white frame: I ordered in England the exhaust flange machined by Phil Denton Engineering.


Simple assembly (no Honda gasket), guaranteed watertightness

The CR 125 1992 project is almost finished!
Soon I will replace the Showa fork sticker with a more vintage writing.

I will try to do a photo shoot before putting it in the dust this summer.

Almost 15,000 visits to the reconstruction page of this bike: thank you all for following this with great interest! Wink

Extremely nice, and looking fwd to more pic's. Honestly, that's one of few bike's I would like to have in my cave...I would just stare at it, and wipe the dust off of it.

The '91 and '92' 125s were great looking bikes. Great job on the resto. I'm with Ledger, I'd have it in my man cave and give here a nice dusting and pipe clean for good measure. I'd keep some C12 and 927 and start her up once a month to remind me of why I get up and go to work.....to buy motor cycle parts for my motorcycle that I ride extremely slowly and have a blast on! hahahaha

Beautiful bike Godcho. I always thought the early 90s Hondas looked the best.

Small update with SHOWA fork stickers from the right period.


I also collected some specific parts to make a second 125 CR 92 but this time a Honda Peak Pro Circuit Lamson or McGrath. I will keep my original 92' CR with nuclear red plastic because i love this funky color of 90' years.

I have already:
-Air box 125 CR 91'
-Acerbis front plate
-Acerbis blue plastics
-White front fender and radiator vents (Ufo)
-Blue handlebar foam Renthal
-Saddle cover
-Graphic kit by throttle jockey (the number plates are missing)
-Ignition cover replica Pro Circuit CNC machined

I will surely continue to collect a maximum of the cycle part then I would buy a bike to start to build the replica.

You already know I love your build my friend.
If I came across an early CR 125 that would be the build I would do..A Peak replica.

There is something about those early bikes that is very long lasting.

Thanks TooOld4WFO .

Yes It's a myth: the beginnings of the Pro circuit Team!

It is even the only Honda in the history of Mx and Sx which was not red but blue!!

Beautiful build Aaron. Is that gold Cerakote on those forks?
If so I will have that 125’s bigger brother with my 92 250. Those fork sliders look exactly the same as mine.

I continue to collect all the OEM and specific parts before embarking on the purchase of a new motorcycle and his rebuild.
