Why not just replace the pins with new ones, then move on to a more worthwile mod?

Swapping the barely ever used rear brake is not exactly a "value add" mod...

I picked up stock looking VFR footpegs on Ebay. They looked much better than the Superhawk rubber pattern. They were chinese knock offs, and the rubber was riveted on, but for only $15 shipped it was cheaper than buying replacement rubber for stock footpegs.

Yep, did mine last year and it was an awesome inexpensive mod... If you swapped the throttle tube and didn't remove the "push" throttle cable, then you're really missing out on a great free mod. Try it and you'll never look back. Better throttle action, very light and easy like a motocross...

Who are you and where have you been with that beautiful bike!!!

Why isn't the second "locking nut" tightened against the nut that is against the mcct body?

You can make your own using the stock housing with a drill bit, tap, some m8x140mm bolts, and matching nuts, plus acorn nuts... Pretty simple.

Let me know if you want details, i can post them.

Here in the USA we dry sand, then wet sand, then polish. Depending how rough it is, start with 320 to smooth it out, then 400, then 600, 800, 1000, then 1000 wet. After that i smear it with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish, then use a buffing wheel on an air rotary tool. I wipe it clean with an old ...
