Highway pegs?

I recently bought an Iron 883 and have found (after 150 mile day yesterday) that I would like the ability to stretch out a bit on longer rides. I do not want forward controls, as I like the mid-mounts for most of the riding I do, but would love the option to stretch out on the highway.
All I have been able to find, is either forward controls, or highway pegs that mount to an engine guard (not putting an engine guard on my Iron).
Can anyone help? Do they not make a set of highway pegs that would mount where the forward controls would go?
Thanks!

They do make a set of hiway peg mounts that fit 84 and up Sportys. these are square bars that allow you to mount hiway pegs from the front motor mounts. The aftermarket ones cost about $44 w/o pegs. OEM is 49159-88T
item D in pic on page 2/50 (I cannot put in direct URL to page, just URL to index) I can get these but will be on vacation until the middle of August, PM me if you cannot find locally.

I got forward highway pegs on my nightster. Haven't used them yet. I don't have an engine guard either, the shop mounted the forward highways when I bought it though. So they have em.
