Nice. Damn nice. I have bookmarked all the things I want to do to my 125 when I get it. (3ish weeks)
Something to think about - if you're thinking of getting a different bash plate than the stock one (a good idea), check for the whole setup as a complete set, rather than buying the guards and THEN checking. Some of the available options for bash plate replacements might not be compatible with all engine guards, so you can save yourself a little disappointment by making sure everything plays nicely together before ordering.

An example of this thinking is demonstrated here.

As SneakyDingo says:
When adding or modifying your motorcycle check for the whole setup as a complete set.
Several of the skid plates do not fit add on engine guards and some engine guards require very extensive work to install. Many of the exhausts require extensive work.

Procurement and Installation of added crash guards
I was concerned about safety and protecting me and the bike after falling.
I wanted to keep the original Honda skid plate.

I made sure the Diablo Engine guard V2 fit properly before purchasing.
I contacted K-SPEED in Bangkok to ensure that both the motorcycle's balance and weight was not affected. It only added some grams. The V2 model has 2 small added side 3 hole steel plates that were added after crash testing the Honda Trail 125. The bikes center of gravity is lowered slightly.

The Diablo Engine guard is sold by K-SPEED as https://www.k-speed.net/en/products/646512 Motorcycle+Crash+Bars+Frame+Protector+Protection+Guard+Falling+Protection+Bumper++For+CT125

I chose BEEZDEELZ over K-SPEED and Bangkok eBay resellers using a credit card vs PAYPAL.

Just an observation…. The uniqueness of ct owners, a few have stripped them down to save weight, maybe 5# on a good day??? Many of us add to them, some have huge boxes on the back and 4 add ons to the front.
Kind of cool how different we can make the bikes that work for us!

Can confirm the Moriwake skid plate fits with motoskills or similar crash bars and clears the Yoshi pipe no dramas.
