November 3, 201113 yr Campaman, it looks like leathy is right and the earlier classic models came with pegs as standard. Look forward to seeing your bike in the gallery! I have now managed to get a couple of pics into the gallery... Title: My 1998 XVS650 Dragstar Classic
November 3, 201113 yr Author Cheers Leathy! I'm going to get the bike ACF50'd as soon as poss. The bike came with the saddlebag supports but no saddlebags when I bought it. Got these (in fake leather) from Custom Cruisers. I've found they're very practical.
April 2, 201410 yr Author Resurrecting an old thread! The stud count has been somewhat reduced... And my two babies!
April 3, 201410 yr Looks really good Tout! much better after the stud cull. Your Cb500 looks very tidy too.

February 21, 20196 yr Very nice. Looks like a model I may be aiming at now! I am just getting into bikes and it looks like rebuilding could be a hobby I might stick with. I often jump between 'fancies' as the groovy factor wears off and I learn everything I can. Unlike cars, I can fit multiple projects in my garage which might be a BAD thing! ?
