Just got myself a 1991 CR125 for original restoration project in the Uk, and as a newbie trying to establish the following:-
1. If part numbers from slighty different from slighly newer cr125s, does this mean they wont fit?
2. Any recommendations on where to source new and second hand parts online?
3. The best manufacturer to match the 1991 Red (R119)?
4. If fork legs uppers are worn and maked, could theae still be re anodized and look ok?
5. Best method to remove swinging arm marks and scratches?
Looking for the following if anyone anyone could possible help?
1. Original Grey airbox.
2. Front and rear mudguards (right colour R119 for year).
3. Bottom triple clamp.
4. Chain rollers and swigning arm chain slide.
5. Exhaust system.
6. Gold colour wheels.
7. Rear brake calliper guard.
8. Front sprocket guard.
9. New standard height seat and Tecnosel gripper seat cover (original design and right colour Red).
If anybody else has an other info, pics or tips for a 1991 CR 125 restoration project, please feel free to also post here.
Thanks for any time offered in posting. Much appreciated.

The 91's are cool little bikes! I still have my '91 CR80 in the container, I have a soft spot for that year
1) Some Part numbers will super-seed, some wont.
2) We can get you NOS or new parts, along with our own components.
3) UFO plastics are a pretty good match for the OEM colours (again we can supply them)
4) Depends how badly marked they are. They will need to be polished/sanded before they are re-anodised.
5) A file for the deep gouges (if really deep they might need a blob of weld) then wet & dry paper till smooth. Then vapour blast to get it clean. Then a good few hours with fine wet & dry and then scotch bright pads to get the "brushed" look back.
Wheels, exhaust, etc etc give us a call , basically we can help you with whatever you need. From OEM parts, plastics, wheel building, engine building, vapour blasting, powder coating, Ti bolt sets, billet suspension links. Whatever you need. And if its something we cant do we can point you in the direction of someone who can!

Found some amazing 91 rebuilds in the search facility at top of this page as suggested by sandman768. Thanks
Stevied113 - thanks for your info, advice and offer of assistance, its much appreciated.
Still struggling with part numbers. How can I find out if a part number will fit my 91 if the number is slightly different. For example the radiator shrouds for 91 and 92 have diff part numbers, but you see some adverts selling them saying they will fit 91 to 96 ?? Is this an experince thing to know what will fit what year?
If I was looking for the following would any of yor experts know what years would fit my 91?
1. Wheels
2. Forks
3. Radiators
4. Rad shrowds
6. Bottom tripple clamp.
7. Brake calipers.
8. Clutch and maginto casings.
9. Exhaust
Hopefully if a few years will fit a 91, I can widen my search and hopefully it may be easier in my search for parts.
Thanks for any posters time in responding.

My resto project is going to be slow one, but will get there in the end and share some pics when I eventually get stuck into it.
I am trying get my head around the below text abstracted from Avmechanicd post above (excuse my lack of knowledge to understand this in detail). Iam looking to change my forks and needing to understand what Year forks I could install straight on my 91 CR125 1991.
Thanks again all
I highly recommend just upgrading to 97' to 2003 Honda 47MM Showa twin chamber forks or better yet 2004 to 2008 Honda 47mm Showa twin chamber forks. You can press the steering stem from your original lower triple clamp into the new fork triple clamps or you can order bearing conversion kits from All Balls bearings. https://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion New forks makes the bike and can be done for reasonable from a bike wrecker or ebay. I put 2001 forks on my 88' CR250 and have a set of 2011 RMZ Showa forks for my next build. My 88' conversion only cost $350 for everything including the bearings forks triple clamp and wheel hubverything including the bearings forks triple clamp and wheel hub
