Default 2 New Posts. Foot Peg & Ball Bearing Rattle

Ola' Could use some help on the following 2 quandry's.
1) Where can I find a left foot peg for my 2002 f4i. Already been to e-bay, craigs list, cycle therapy, rancho cordova wreckage, and the likes. Not willing to pay $70.00 from the dealer. I sport tour my f4i, and do not want all metal pegs. The added rubber greatly reduces rider fatigue.
2) I believe I've read posts in the last year or so of a "ball bearing rattle" coming out of the front TOP end of f4i's. Applogize if this is an over stated post but I'dappreciate your knowledge. My old [laugh here]2006 f4i (w/4,000 miles) never buzzed at any rpm, any condition. My 'new' 2002 (w/9,000 miles) buzzes when the throttle is 1/4 open and at 5,000 rpms. Sounds like super loud valves. Or sounds like ball bearings rattling around in the top of the engine, near the head. I'm assuming this is common, but what exactly is it? Is it common.
Thanks as Always,
G

Hoping for more of an answer here guys. Am I right assuming the "ball bearing" question is related to the CCT?
Is a super loud CCT like mine is at 5,000 Rpms, harmful? Or does it only sound bad?
