Mods for my VFR

Just curious as to what all can be done to my 86 vfr 700. Like the look of hard bags on the newer models ive seen and wonder if i can find some for mine. Ive also read up on the front fork/rear swingarm swaps possible for these bikes but that will all come later. Also are there any places to source used parts for my vfr other than ebay? I want to replace some of the missing hardware and other parts like my foot pegs. Doesnt have to be stock parts if they will fit but would be better.
