    hey i have my footpegs and was going to try to put more modern looking pegs since one of mine is messed up because of people dropping it in the past :mad: so i guess if i get new pegs then i could sell you it. Meanwhile anybody ever change their vf500 pegs?

    ps. is it possible to just repair the front cowl?
