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...

You've inspired me to buy a 92 cr125. It looks like I'm picking it up later today.
@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".
You are doing a great job man! I will try my best to follow in your footsteps. Although those are big shoes to fill.

Ryan that looks a gem! Did you say you're going to do a Peak bike or something different?
I will use your forum as a templete...then read the "instructions" after I'm done.- typical. LOL.

Sun rims were premium rims before there was an Excel. They are American made by Buchanan, same company that does the killer spokes.

All stripped, cleaned and rebuilt, spring retainer parts zinc plated, shock adjuster anodised red and spring powdercoatee by Central Wheel.
Looks good! Painted, right?
And another question: Do UFO rear fenders leave a gap at the back of the seat? (I read that somewhere.) Will I need Acerbis to make it look clean?
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.
I painted the blue rear parts of my Splitfire bike myself and it turned out good. I bought a pint of automotive paint ($80 for everything) from a paint shop. They matched the rear fender decal. I'm a believer in the painted plastics now too.
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.
Makes me realise how easy my build was in comparison, as I had no wear on the chassis parts to contend with after 14 years of non-use.
Your commitment to get it right is really admirable.
Really enjoying this build.
I love how you are putting all your focus into one part at a time, the outcome shows and the devil's in the detail.
Superb man!
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...
