Inventory Of Reed Valve assemblies and parts.
This is the total inventory with me of the Reed valves and associated parts.
4 complete assemblies. 5 bare reed blocks, 13 reed stoppers and 14 reed petals. I'll assemble the 5 bare blocks once the reed stoppers get new Zinc Plating. :)
Only two of the reed valve assemblies in the pic are finished (bottom left corner). The rest are yet to be restored.
Enjoy the pics

Oil Pump
The much feared but most important Oil Pump of the RD is a key part to have in perfect condition. The one i have here is as close to perfection as it can get, apart from a new pump. :)

Reed Valves :)
The simple yet complex Reed Valves are very , very important to the RD. I have around 9 reed valve assemblies lying with me at present, so that'll help me find some good sets. I'll posts pics of all of them together later.
Here, one set i have cleaned and its reed stoppers polished. The reed stoppers of the others set will not be polished, but will be coated with yellow zinc.

Cylinder heads
The heads were full of grime and were sitting idle for a long time. Just washed it with diesel and gave it a quick shine. They look okay, but will need one-two coats of high heat black.

RD Indicators lot
We purchased this lot of indicators, 7 in total. Everything genuine and complete, except one red lens. And two more genuine Rajdoot indicators will be coming soon. So there will be 9 now ;)

Seat restoration - Work in progress
The genuine Yamaha seat was starting to show its age and the seat pan was also starting to rust.
So, we took the seat apart to find a lot of rust . The seat pan was cleaned of all rust and then painted with red oxide primer. Also, the genuine seat trim was polished :)
