Decided to tackle replacing the rubber on the foot pegs of the 80. I read the post where some guys are cutting the rubber away. I gave it a go but with my right hand grip becoming ever more weak and painful I could not control the knife. So I had to come up with a work around.
I found that if I clamped the foot peg in a vice I could drive a metal rod into the rubber and along the aluminum, I then threaded in the plastic spray tube of carburetor cleaner, sprayed the carb cleaner in and let it sit. In short time I was able to lift off the entire rubber from the foot peg.
Best part, no cut fingers or other body parts
