I am not new to the bike scene but I am new to customizing my own bike and so far it's going great but I am having a problem buying color matching parts. I bought the Vortex gold colored rearsets and the Vortex gold colored short levers and I would like to keep my rear passenger pegs on my bike but I cannot find anybody that even makes custom passenger pegs, with or without the support bars. I just want to find some passenger pegs that match the color of the gold Vortex parts or some solid black ones if anybody thinks they know of a website that sells them or if they have some for sale. My bike is an 04 GSXR750.

that's a tough one.
On our Project canyon Killer Gixxer1K we ended up spraypainting the passenger pegs and hangers black.

probably not technically called hangers, but that's what they are...

I'm just going to spray paint them when I get back. Is there anything that needs to be done to them to make the paint stick better, like sanding them or something first?
