The front fender is attached directly to the hub's (2 bolts on each side) There are also 2 brake stays that connect via a strut to each fork leg. Since I have some fork damage I've been looking for a fork assembly, but only came up with a C92 NOS fork assembly. It has a couple of tabs on it for a fender attachment while the CB92 does not. Another difference is the CB92 has 2 brake stays, one on each leg, and located about an inch and a half higher on the fork to accommodate the larger diameter of the brake drum. The C92 has the single brake stay on one fork leg. I believe if necessary I'll be able to move the stays from one set of forks to the other and get the correct angle as well. At this time I don't know how much damage has been done to my forks due to bondo covering the damage. It might be salvageable as is. I know the correct forks are about $900 dollars if you're lucky
Anyway these bikes have a very unique front brake, considered overkill and ahead of it's time back then. One of the extra special dealer options were air scoops for each side of the front brake as well. Mine does not have those.Honda Benly 125cc CB92 Front Fork Red Genuine Japan | eBay
What are those forks too? They look different like a c110 or ca110.. they made too many variations of that bikeAs to moving (or adding) another brake stay securing tab, it isn't that difficult....I had to do so on my 90's forks to adapt the 350 wheel....(it was on the "wrong" side originally), so I simply added another scavenged from some damaged forks onto the other leg...... The mods I had to do for clearance on the DLS linkage were much more of a pain, but came out well....LOL..... More pix available if needed....
I have seen those forks for sale for awhile and have actually used that vendor. Let's just say the term NOS is highly exaggerated in the Asian market. I did find a couple dealers in the States that have the forks (still in primer like they should be) for 850 and 950. Until mine are media blasted, I don't know how much damage there is, so won't lay out that kind of cash quite yet. I have a friend and collector about 20 miles from me, who has bought out 3 Honda dealerships in the '90s. He had a fork assembly for a C92 (still in primer) that I got for a 100 bucks just in case I need to modify it to work. I'll try to get him to go through all the code "205" stuff he has eventually, but he's not very organized.
Please let me know when your friend does find all of his 205 parts haha.I have seen those forks for sale for awhile and have actually used that vendor.

Other parts I'm needing, are the brackets for the wind screen and of course the air pump.
My engine numbers are very near matching my frame number, I think they are only 17 apart, so want to keep it accurate when I restore it. My front fender is aluminum and unpainted, I'm trying to find out if that is accurate as well. Like I've mentioned, '61 was a year of many small changes, so a lot depends on the VIN number to figure it all out.
Yes the fender is original. In 1960 the fender, tank and side covers were aluminum as well. In '61 just the fender. If you could PM the contact info for the wind screen hardware that would be awesome, as well as the pump info.
