Default Highway Peg advice needed 883N

Seems like it's easy to install highway pegs on an Iron if you have crash bars.

What if you don't have crash bars and just want to mount highway pegs (not forward controls)

I am looking to see what's available to mount onto the 1.5" frame downtubes but is proven to work on an Iron and provide access for your feet?

Can anyone offer advice?

Thank you all in advance?

Dk customs sells a bracket setup that bolts in where the forward controls normally would.


I'm running a similar set up on my dyna and love it, and there is Also the Bung King crash bar that bolts in there that doubles as a highway peg that is available for both dynas and sportsters, which I am considering getting myself.

Just swap to forwards. I traded with my buddy for his 72 forwards fifth my Iron mids. Wasn't sure at first but after a few rides I liked them better then mids.

I don't have an iron but you probably can find the same part for your bike.

I just bought this kit from HD to install highway pegs so I can stretch out. It is installed where the forwards go (I have mids)

Thank you all for your help and taking the time to respond.

I've got a bunch of stuff in my DK cart anyways so I will give them a call Tuesday - couldn't find the kit on their website.

I've been wanting an Iron for years, especially when in Daytona for Biketoberfest and Bike Week as it's a fun little bar hopper. However, riding it 3.5 hours back from where I bought it yesterday sure made me appreciate the Road King!

Should have never sold the Street Bob ... it was the best of both worlds but I'm happy with this pair and will be happier once I get the Iron squared away for my tastes.

I'm in between forward controls and highway pegs. If anyone finds a link, send it! Thanks!

I have a SuperLow with a crashbar, but that is too far away for my legs to reach. I bhave the same peg kit as hscic, adjustable to three different locations. Looks neat and works fine.

Part no. 49053-04A. Not sure if it comes in black. If not just paint with a high temp black paint since it is next to the head pipes.
