In my current state of boredom I was looking at frame sliders and found this picture on the T Rex Racing site. It shows a black Kuryakyn ISO Wing bolted into the chin spoiler.

As I do not have my bike yet, I was wondering if this is strong enough to hold up as is or if some kind of internal bracing would need to be added. Could solve the cruiser peg issues.

probably going through the chin fairing and bolted onto the fwd muffler bracket. I'd think they'd be fairly "soft" though, but then again it'd be limited weight transfer from your legs in this position.

I had the same thought one night looking at my sons BMX bike with the pegs on the axle. I wondered if they would work there. now I know...They might. LOL.

One thing to remember is the muffler and engine flop around as one unit in the rubber.
If you connect a footpeg to that unit, a fair amount of vibes will be shared with your feet.
Perhaps I'm wrong. It would be easy to experiment by touching your foot to the front of the muffler while riding.
