Brings back old memories of when I was a kid getting a new 87 cr125 for Christmas, I love the mid 80s to early 90 CRs , hell I love all two strokes from that era,
I have a 1988 CR125. After watching the video of your build, I'm really inspired to restore mine. Do you know if 1989 frames are the same as a 1988 frame?
I appreciate this video I just picked up a 1988 Honda cr125r parts bike "frame,subrame,swingarm,forks,wheels, and guy was nice enough to include a motor in decent shape needs top end rebuild its an ugly bike right now and missing a lot but I wanted to restore this gem up and get her looking new just like yours great build man it looks amazing 👏
Beautiful build! I'm rebuilding an 88 as well (if it comes out half as nice as yours I'll be happy!). Question, where did you find the rear brake pedal return spring?
@@martintelford8763 I'm pretty sure I found an old stock. If I'm ever unable to find a new spring, I'll typically remove the crud with a pryme mx cleaning wheel and give it a soak in the WD-40.
Nice bike pal. Just wondering where you got the spokes for it and is it still a 18inch rear wheel also rear shock rebuild kit where did you source that? Cheers. Dave in Australia. You did a ver nice job on it
Man you did an awesome job on that bike, makes me miss my 88 cr125 I had back in the day!!!
Thanks! Definitely turned out to be a nice build. It was one of the top 3 worst condition bikes I've ever restored. It may even be #1 on that list!😳

that's a beautiful bike! I picked up my own 88 cr125 and I'm tearing apart the engine now
Good luck with the rebuild. Great bike to own! You'll love it.
Thanks I Can’t wait to ride it for the first time!
That bike really turned out great. I enjoy these videos and how you explain everything in detail.
Thank you sir!
Beautiful!! Love those late 80's in that rocket red color! Don't every sell it. Investment right there my friend.
It sure is a great one. This one sold to a good friend who has it on display
Mind blowing ! well done !!! Little john from the uk
I still have my 88 cr125 I bought new from Ephrata Honda, this is what I Needed to light the fire, thanks.
@@daneagan7656 great to hear! These are really great bikes. Let me know how yours is going or if I can help in any way.
Awesome Job! Bike Looks Great!
Thanks. This was really quite the project. The bike was almost un fixable.

@@matthewjames4977 no, the frames are just a little bit different between those years if I remember correctly. 87/88 are the same. 89/90 are the same

This one was nat far off of what you're describing. In fact, it may be the worst shape bike I've ever restored. I almost parted it out.
Yooouu, You got a gift my friend.
The 1988 Honda cr 125 you've restored is a beauty, when are you going to show the world your 1989 Honda cr 125 ( great job ) England
Thanks! And that's a good idea! I need to do a walk around of the 89..
JMB was world'champ on it

I used Dubya wheel for the rims and spokes. I do on most my builds. I sent the rear shock and forks to Factory Connection for service and rebuild.

I assume it sold a long time ago?
Yes. This one sold just as.soon as I was finished
