If you had your mid controls on it still you would be more comfortable.
Per the factory description the Iron does indeed have "drag bars"

They aren't drag bars. Harley calls them drag bars to make it sound cooler, but in fact it doesn't have drag bars. Anyone who has been around bikes knows this.

Drag Bars - Motorcycle Handlebars that are low and straight, not sweeping up from the risers.

you could just extend the stock one with some unions and some line from the local car shop. I think it cost about 15 bucks and you can make it any length you want.
