While assembling my 65 CL77 I came to the rear footpeg arms. Mine look like hell. Can anyone tell Me if the original arms and sidestand were painted, plated or O-natural?

Pretty sure that the footrest arms and side stand were both zinc plated (silver - not yellow passivated). The better used ones I have picked up have been plated and I have had mine re-done that way. G '60 C77 '60 C72 '62 C72 Dream '63 CL72
