I posted this in the wrong forum so here's a copy:
I just picked one up and this is my first "vintage?" rebuild. If you have restored/rebuilt one I would appreciate any feedback as to tips/tricks/resources and also the best sources to buy all the parts. Or, let me know if you have any parts for sale? I want the bike to look clean/new when I'm done, but I'm not planning on a full restoration for now. I'll be riding it when it's done.
Right off the bat I don't believe there are custom hubs available for these old bikes correct? Just powder coat or anodize the stock hubs? I'm already torn between gold or black rims...even though they aren't native to the bike i will probably be going with one or the other.
I pretty much need everything, so let me know where you guys get your stuff. I'm in Southern California.

If any of this is helpful, great! I am here to answer any questions you might have. Heads up.. the power valve is a oain in the butt.
All the best with your build!

Check the weight of the talon hubs vs. Stock
hop on babbiitts and bookmark the 89cr125 landing page. They have exploded views of everything and part numbers.
Lots of parts will have no price because they don't hold stock.
Find the part numbers you need and talk to your local honda parts dealer and let them know what you are building. They can access a database as well and sometimes you can find stock parts from a far away dealer (old on the shelf) and pay over phone and have it shipped to you.

As I said check the weight
