Do the vintage 1979 pegs come apart? I want to replate them...although I think the rubber could stay on for the plating I will probably try and replace it...so before I get a sharp knife...does the outer plate come off?
If you intend to have then zinc-plated, you can leave them together. Do that quite often with crimped oil lines and footrests, even sparkplugs(for display purposes)! Doesn't harm the rubber bits at all.
I prefer cadnium plating myself, I'd be removing the rivet though, that way it covers everything. Also, once the rivet is out you can slide the rubber off.
Don't know where MotoV is located, but cadmium has been banned in most of Europe for quite some time now. Only coating that is readily available is zinc... as if it were a lot less environmentally hazardous! :
