I'm not totally sure about the CR 125 front end but I did just put on a set of RM 250 forks on mine. Biggest thing that I know of is Steering stem bearings. Have you check to see if the bearings are the same size? The 89 RM 250 bearings are the same as the 230's. So my install went pretty easy. But that is where I would start off is checking the bearing sizes if they are different you will have to have the race machine to fit. Here is a good article I found that might help you out.

Hope this helps out a little.

I stand corrected After doing some digging around. The bearings aren't the same the guy I got them from had some work done on the stem bearing to make them work. So i didn't have to do any thing but put them on. Sorry about that. I do apologize. But did find a few older hondas with same bearings for you 7-04 cr 80 and 85's 79-89 cr 125r, 03-04 crf150r, 80-02 xl200,
82-87 xl250R. I pulled out my dennis kirk catalog and started looking at what bikes had the same bearing number as the 230.
