Here’s the beginning stages of my next build. Picked this mint CR125 for cheap and started grabbing goodies for it online. Here’s what’s going on it so far: PC pipe/silencer/clamps and 97 CR125 motor. I’ve ridden it a few times and the bike handles so good even with bone stock suspension. Can’t wait to feel the new motor once it’s in. Will post pics along the way

Very nice ! Love my 95 steel frame and had an 03 that did everything great but the motor just didn't have the same snap and felt anemic so i sold it. Look forward to a build

I haven’t done too much with the bike lately but I sold the red PC clamps and bought 2010 CRF250R Suspension with matching silver PC clamps to update the Suspension. I also found a trick ignition cover and stinger tip R304 shorty. Can’t wait to get it together to ride!

So haven’t done the motor swap yet, but going to let a friend race the bike at Hangtown 125 race. I put the forks and shock from my CR250 on it to handle the rough outdoors

Remote bladder fill pretty fancy. Looks like a solid start!

Where did you manage to find that shock? I've searching for an old style kit shock for well over a year with no success. Did you snatch those pc clamps from craigslist inland empire? if yes, you beat me to it.

I bought the shock off of the bazar recently. The red clamps I got from Facebook market place but did see the couple sets of red pc clamps on so cal Craigslist around Christmas time, not sure if that’s the post your referring to.
