Great work! Looks good!
Here are quite a few other options if you want a bit larger platform and much more comfortable pegs (they can adjust while riding) that still have a good grip.
Here is a pic of just a couple of the options-

So, the other day I saw a picture of the Joker Machine pegs on a dyna and thought they looked great. The price isn't bad for the quality of machine work your getting, but I had the idea to try and modify regular dirtbike pegs to fit the dyna mids. I went on Ebay and ordered some pegs for a CRF450R...they showed up today. I didn't anticipate them being cast steel (not that it really matters for how I modified them), however for the price ($10 I think) I didn't care. I used an angle grinder to cut the tube like section off mounting portion of the peg (see pics) and then ground it .125" thinner. I think they turned out good and I'm happy...feel free to tell me they are ugly or look cheap though They're definitely not as trick as the Joker Machine pegs...just better suited for my budget

I had someone on facebook tell me they thought about this idea before, but thought they would have TOO much grip...not being a smartass at all, but how can/would you have too much grip? It takes a little getting used to positioning your feet as you can't just slide them all around, but to me I feel a bit more connected to the bike. I suppose for a little less grip you could file/grind down the teeth a bit
