OK, look at the image below.



Now the crazy part. After doing Diamond Jim's seat mod, I've been wanting to install highway bars, cause for some reason I just don't want to get off the bike now.
Being cheap, I'm looking at these and thinking that they look just like handlebars. MC or bicycle handlebars can be had pretty cheap, especially at 2nd hand shops, Goodwill, etc. Any reason a set of handlebars couldn't be fastened to the down tube, just prior to the bifurcation? To this I could fasten some pegs, after trimming down any excess tubing that extended beyond the bike frame. (I don't want to have something on it that wouldn't fold up in case of a laydown.) I don't need it to be super stong. Just sturdy enough to have a place to put my feet on long rides. Do any of you have experience with this kind of thing?
If this works, I may have to get a bigger tank.

Ive seen some pretty cool looking bars that could go across & hold feet up nicely in the gym. Might be able to pick one up easy enough, as long as its not loaded to heavily.
Seriously, the "pull Down" bars  often have a drop in them. I dont kow how theyd work, its been years since i was in a gym & cant remember exactly what they look like, but maybe?

I haven't paid enough attention to highway pegs to know if anyone makes one that would slip/clamp onto a horizontal bar like that.  If the vertical ones like I always see are the only style available, you could just mount a little vertical stub on the end, to clamp the pegs to. The problem with welding anything on, you lose the chrome, and rechroming would run into more money, so anything that could be clamped or bolted would be better.  Or maybe you could find something like this that would slip into the I.D. of the pipe you use for a crosspiece, secure it with a roll pin or something, and just bold any pegs to it then.  Lots of options, depending on what ya got on hand I guess.

I did come across these, http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?model_ID=0&Category_ID=6&manufac... look like they'd bolt onto just about anything.

The full brackets and all were pricey, but just the peg adapters (1st pic) ran around $20.  Then you'd just pay whatever for a pair of pegs to go on them.  Probably better methods, but that's what I came up with on the spur of the moment.

If you know anyone who does any milling or machining (I don't), you could probably whip something similar up outta a chunk of aluminum or something.

Why not attach it to the lower tree?
Put pedals on it and it could be foot controls.
and a back rest so you can lean back and chillax.

You know I actaully thought about modding something to that cross brace on the forward controls. I don't think it would be all that difficult to attatch some type of highway pegs to it, but the problem is making it look decent.

Or something like this.  Maybe extend the front bar out on each side (which this older pic doesn't show) so the highway pegs are a little wider than the stockers.
