Ergal levers and pegs - OEM Accessories

Was looking at these in my 2003 V11 Dealer Brochure. Has anyone ever seen these or have them on their bike? Interesting accessory.

What is that 'L' shaped part for?

Frame-mounted shifter pivot, it looks like.

Somehow stumbled upon this ancient thread today.  I'd not seen that 2003 brochure before advertising "ergal" pegs and levers.  I had seen Moto Guzzi Accessories and Apparel Brochure B10703, which appears to relate to the 2002 model year (given the red/grey LM on the cover and the copyright). 

It shows the same (?) footrests and controls.  I happen to have them on the Tenni, along with the passenger footrests and all the CF goodies (except the quarter fairing).  I don't have them on Bubbles.  I can't say that I've perceived any significant difference while riding, but I do like the looks of them.  Here they are installed (and in need of cleaning!):

Very retro and quaint. Those are the sort of pegs I used to make 30 years ago and felt they were very cool. Then CNC machining arrived and it all changed. No longer could we spend a several hours at the lathe, mill, bandsaw and linisher and come up with "cool" and special, the world moved on. Here's a set of pegs from my 1198 that are about 14 years old. This is how fast it all changed in around 8 years. These cost far less than the bespoke ones we made manually back in the late 90's and early 2000's as well. I wish someone would make this level of beauty these days for the V11. It takes CNC. I could spend the rest of my life at the mill and never be able to achieve this.
