Cruiser floorboard-to-footpeg conversion? [View all]

I'm trying to find out what the options are to allow removing the floorboards on my Kaw. VN900 Classic and replacing them with footpegs, hopefully to gain more clearance on cornering and avoid that sickening rasping noise when the boards touch down. It appears that all that that is available are highway pegs meant for mounting on engine guards, or custom pegs for bikes with existing pegs.

I know I've seen that some think the floorboards are a major plus on a cruiser, I just don't think that sounding like a grinder when I proceed through a corner at more than a grandfatherly pace is acceptable.

Anyone familiar with this type of conversion?
