Where are the places to buy parts for CR125M 1974

Just got one of these - it needs a few parts.  What are some of your favourites for genuine and aftermarket bits - even some trick stuff I'd be interested in.

Tony - small odds and sods - www.re-mx.com - very good and reliable.

Also David Silver I think it is in the UK had/have lots of Honda parts.

Just bits and peices that have been replaced with the wrong things.  Nothing too drastic.  Nuts and bolts and the apparently extremely elusive kill switch  :o :o ;D
Maybe a bit of bling - you know what I'm like  ::)

Just went out and had a closer look at the compliance plate - starts with a 2  :o :o
Does that put me out of pre '74 - probably a stoopid question  ::)

they list kill switches on Re-MX.  Funny thing was with the Honda parts - I used to buy my grommets from Re-MX for maybe $3-$4 each (Genuine Honda) - at the same time Genuine Honda ones on Ebay US were going for $60-$80 for 4!!!!!!

You are a champion Jim 8).  For a minute there I thought I was without a pre 74 ride again :o :o.  Not cool.

Thanks for the advice fellas.  Those links are very good.  If I find anything cool during my research I will let you know.

Cheers

Mick, the bike will certainly be slow with me on it ;D.  I've heard 090's goes OK though ;)
I'm pretty happy with it - has GMC pipe and new top end.  Just needs a tidy up - a bit of paint here and there, some proper nuts and bolts and a bit of zinc plating and it will be sweet as  8).  I will post some pics if I get time.
I'm off now to make friends with my local Honda man   ;)

Thanks again boys - a great relief to know I can still race it pre 75.  All I have to do is find the spark and we are in business  ;D ;D  I'll fit the new coil and see if that was the culprit.  The old one looked very dodgy.

So the coil I got from MCS was the wrong one  :'(

Where would I buy the right one ?

I ordered this one blind (without looking at the old one)


I then discovered it looks like this

The MCS is now for sale if anyone is after one.

HELP

G,day 250H, I noticed your frame looks to have been redone,is the coil earthing properly to the frame?,paint/powdercoat stopping a good connection perhaps! Big K might be worth a try for a secondhand coil if thats the problem,I think the only new coil you could buy that is a straight bolt up to the frame exactly is a nos honda job  :)
