Default Highway bars a must???

Hello, I was wondering if there was anyway to mount highway pegs without having a highway bar? I have looked around the forums and online and havent found anything yet. The forward controls stretch me out decently, but not quite enough, and its really not comfortable resting my heels on the pegs. I have also considered getting the extended forward controls.

There are several companies that make clamp style highway pegs that can be mounted to highway bars or to frame down tubes. Since if using those you would be looking at mounting to the down tubes I would say something like the kuryakyn longhorns or offset highway pegs should do what your looking for.

You can also go with multi or universal fit highway bars that clamp to the down tubes of the front frame

You can probably find knock off brand ones for a lot cheaper, but those are a few examples to start you off.

There are some companies that make "mustache bars" which offer the extended position without the full crash bar look.

Thanks for the links guys, kind of like the Kuryakyn SwingWing Pegs. The mustache bars would probably be more comfortable, but I like the idea of being able to fold away the peg when not in use.

I've always wondered if something like this could be squeezed in between the frame and the forward controls. I have mid pegs so it's not something I could try

Hard to get a good idea what they look like not seeing the entire mount. If you have any additional pics, I pm'd you my email address, thanks.
