I've noticed another peculiarity with my right foot peg, it's an F so has the fold up peg but when down the rubber sits sloping forward rather than being horizontal like the left side, could it be a peg from another model? It looks identical to the parts fiche on CMSNL.
A bit of a side note but I've noticed my frame and engine numbers match, I thought this rarely happened and given the mix up of parts on my bike I'd assumed the engine may not be original.

I believe it might just be common wear on the footpegs - my 500 ones are the same

Ah you're thinking I mean not horizontal sticking out from the bike but I mean as in rotated about their axis. It is l located on the frame tab correctly.

They can get bent if dropped at some point, also designed to rest against the kick-start.
Oddjob:
Remove the footrest rubber Dom and check to see what shape the bar is, the 500 and the 550 used different shape rods, IIRC, the 500 used square type and the 550 flat type. As the 550 uses footrest rubbers that are held by bolts going through the rubber and threaded into the bar and the 500 doesn't have that, if you swap the bars over and drill holes for the bolts unless you get them right they don't line up and the rubber sits at an angle.

I think you're misunderstanding me, it's not bent it's rotated to the wrong angle which isn't possible from a drop.
