Parts shopping for my Yamaha RD 125 & RD 200; Restoration update

Parts shopping for my Yamaha RD 125 & RD 200; Restoration update BHPian SnS_12 recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Parts Shopping Since I have been on a part shopping spree for the Daytona and RZ I decided it’s the right time to buy and fix some missing parts for the RD 200 as well. Since, the 200 was not in the best of shape when I got it a lot of parts were missing, damaged or from other bikes. With a list of parts I needed I sat down surfing Ebay over the past few weeks and got almost most of the stuff I was looking for. Here is a list of parts that I have ordered for the RD 200 and RD 125: a) Used clutch cover for the RD 200 as the one on the bike came damaged at the kick mounting when I got it b) OE new Right side panel for the RD 200 as the one on the bike currently is from the RD 350. c) OE new Oil tank for the RD 200 as the one on the bike is from the RD 350. d) Used main stand with centre pin and spring for the RD 200 as the original one was missing on the bike and is currently using a RX main stand e) OE mufflers for the RD 200 as we had made a set since the bike only had the silencers when I bought it. f) Used speedometer set with mounting bracket for the RD 200. The bike had the OE meters with bracket but were nit working and I am currently using the RD 125 meters which are also not functioning properly. Further, I had bought a OE new set along with a extra tachometer a decade which I will still keep as a backup for now. g) New OE only speedometer for the RD 125 along with a new mounting bracket. I have a new set which I had bought a decade ago as well. Now, the dilemma is that if I put these parts on the RD 200 I will have to paint the bike as well along with the RD 125. Some pictures of the parts… Used clutch cover for the 200. Will need some cleaning, followed by sand blasting and painting or powder coating Has the oil pump and tachometer cable gear. New right side panel for the 200 New oil tank for the 200. Oil cap and mounting rubbers I am getting from Yambits Used main stand for the 200 with centre pin and spring Used complete working meter set with mounting bracket for the 200 New mufflers for the 200 New speedometer only for the 125 The back is chrome though and the bike originally had a black set New meter mounting bracket for the 125. Damping rubbers I am ordering from Yambits New meter set for the 200 with an extra tachometer. Was a good investment looking at the prices now New black meter set for the 125 which will go on the bike. Again a good investment as getting a new set in black is proving very difficult Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
