There are many choices out there including some like these that let you use your existing pegs

Another option would be the HD MiniFloorboards. My foot would slip off the Pegs and now I place my Heel on the Floorboard and it never slips off. Just another Option.

I just put a set of these on; http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...er-footpeg-kit. Gives me several options and I like the look when they're closed.

I had a pair on my Nightster. They take a little getting used to, but they really help with fatigue.
