I too own a VX800. When I purchased mine for only $650 she was a bit of a mess. Mechanically she was in great shape but cosmetically she was ugly and not well taken care of. Over the course of the first few months Jan - March 2011 I commenced to making her a beauty. 5 stage paint, body work and design tweaking led to the stunner she is now with a Pink and Silver Lace motif on tank and back pieces and a black satin frame and flat black accents. Even got my exhausts power coated black to pop the shiny engine in silvers. I certainly get a lot of looks. Although I have not modified any of the frame, pegs or other parts I have added an after market universal windshield (little one) in Black that really gives her a more modern feel. You can check out some images of her here: http://pinkvx800.blogspot.com/
