Did some research and the '01 KX125 has separate bar mount clamps, not one piece bar mount clamp like the '02+

So, I believe your KX125 might actually be an '02?

Looks like Zeta made a one piece bar clamp for standard bars, part # ZE33-2090 that should fit, but they seem difficult to find currently. If this seller won't ship to you, let me know and maybe we can work something out where I can purchase it from them and you can pay that cost, plus the cost to ship it to you.

Applied Racing should definitely be able to help you out, if you're not keen on the Zeta bar clamp.

BRP would be worth contacting to see if they make a one piece bar mount.

Tag Metals triples, listed on your side of the pond it appears.

MX Bonz may be able to help as well, but his website isn't too clear, so you'll want to reach out.

Or, if you're feeling like getting trick, you could go with this Pro-Circuit set up below!

And FYI, the seller is good people!

Not a problem. Take some calipers and measure the fork tube diameter at the bottom clamp, if it measures 48mm, then you've got an '02+, as the '01 had 46mm forks.

Also, just found this. Could be a direct bolt on replacement?

The bike has the rubber mounted bar clamps just get some regular style clamps and call it good. There's a reason why the solid style bar clamps aren't around anymore. Because they don't make any difference.

They used to call that style of solid clamp a bar stabilizer. You see how thin the metal is you think that's actually doing anything?! Unless you're trying to go for an totally orginal look i wouldn't bother.

At this point I would just get some aftermarket rubber mounted clamps and call it good. Could even get oversized ones and go to the larger style bars.
