My Yamaha RD 200 & RD 125 restoration: Updates at parts painting stage

The frame of the RD 125 has been sent to the welder to repair certain parts that have become weak over the years.

BHPian SnS_12 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Though work is being carried out simultaneously on the RD 200 and RD 125 the RD 200 will get done first as only cosmetic work is getting done on it while the RD 125 is a complete grounds up restoration. The RD 200 parts have now gone for painting and the RD 125 engine casing will now go for sandblasting. The frame of the RD 125 has been sent to the welder to repair certain parts that have become weak over the years.
