Today was the first day I've ridden the mv through a proper down pour and I didn't like it one bit. The thing that bothered me the most was how slippy the pegs get. I must have looked like bambi on ice with my feet constantly slipping! Has anyone Ever fitted pegs from , say a gsxr etc?
you can get your file out and cut some groves in your OEM pegs or pop on any of the forum sponsor's websites and find a range of good quality rearsets. They pop up pretty often in the forsale section aswell, infact i think that the acculine set are still up for sale here: http://www.mvagusta.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33469 [edit: already sold]
As for using GSXR parts on your MV, 1) i doubt the bolt pattern will match and 2) you best keep jap parts off as the glass plexin's in the metal will stop your bike doing 312km/hr
The oem are ...

I got caught out on my Brutie last week while scouting the ride for the Bubbalicious. I was in Dawsonville which is 15 miles from Dahlonega (my destination) and 60 miles from home. Here it came, and I mean it poured on me. I had on a mesh knit jacket, perferated gloves, vented boots........everything you need to ride in the rain (aaaak!).
I was on my way to visit the new MV dealer in Dahlonega. When I finally got there, I was soaked completely except my noggin.
I now know what dry balls are worth to me. I paid $114 for new kevlar jeans and cheap gloves. I had an additional tshirt, and the mesh jacket dried out on the way home.
Dry underware? Nah, sometimes commando just works.
I replaced just the pegs on my 910R....the basic pegs are the same as a Ducati....I got mine from a now defunct vendor of ill repute in the UK who shall remain nameless, but I am sure you can find something out there.
