Did you find a solution with your CB125F to lower it? I’m trying the same for my wife who is 5’1” and is using the bike for practice before getting her full licence. 
 

I have lowered the ride to lowest setting and bought a seat to reshape the foam but failing that I’ll try shocks too. She is practicing with techniques to get her left foot down and that helps but as it’s very new I’m just trying to give her some confidence with low speed handling.

Shadow (my daughter) is 5'1"  and she is coping with the lowered/cut down seat.  She is on standard shocks on the lightest/lowest setting.    Still on her tiptoes but she is managing.   Even with the seat lowered you don't gain that much as the width of the bike does splay you legs a little.   We didn't get shorter shocks in the end but they are available from ebay, may be worth a punt for you, they weren't that expensive maybe £30 or so.   Sorry but that is as far as we got.
