question about dg nerf bars???

[400EXCHAD]

Will these things hold up? I have heard they will not last...not very strong? There is a local place to me that has them in stock for $144.00? so i dont have to pay shipping. good deal or what do you guys think...need input

[FatBoy Racing]

I've had them, twice. I've replaced them, twice. More often than not I hear that they are junk and my experience with them has proven the same. Everybody seems to like AC pretty well, but I personally like the ones from X-Factor that come with the steel pegs as well. I had them on my 400ex, and they worked awesome and hold up VERY well (at the time they were sold by Graydon Proline). Anyways, I've got a set on order for the 450r as well. They're more money than the AC's but I think they're worth it. IMO, if you're planning on getting the less expensive set to use with stock pegs, I'd lean towards the AC set.

Have fun!

for that same price i got me ac nerf bars.

[rollie]

the only reason i still have DG nerfs on my 300 is....because i have no money for them...after i get 300exridas suspension:D some beadlocks and tires im gonna get X factors but for now ill just let my bent nerf bars rust:(

IMO DG sucks....

just my .02:cool:

I got DG nerfs on my 400 and they are complete $h!t, IDK how but they bent back and rubbed on my tires while we were riding. Now I have a BALD left tire and a big whole burned into my nerf. I had to redrill the holes to push them as far as I could forward, about an inch from the tire. :eek2:

yeah mine bent backwards two...:confused: idk how it happens but my nerfs are also really close to the tire...idk if i feel safe racing with them because after allmost everyride i have to tighen the bolts because they come loose:mad:

[redroost85]

Are you guys talking about the steel ones or aluminum ones? I had a set aluminum DG's on my old 250X and they held up just fine.

I run pretty much all AC stuff now, but I still need to retighten the bolts sometimes too.:o

[MickeyDonDon#47]

hey get rid of them I have them an they bent when i was ridin and they keep breaking bolts off inside my frame. I just got done welding a bolt in it after I drilled it out and now I'm selling them

yeah..acually i should have said that mine are steel thats why ive head the alumainum are much better...i might try thos if there cheaper then X-factors :cool:

They suck badly... DG = disfunctional goods :p

[Striker49]

I had a set of DG Alloys on my 250ex that I never managed to bend...even after many hard rides but the quality never seemed to be great and I was waiting for em to bend or snap.
I recently got a set of Tusk Comp nerfs for the 416 and the quality is far better than that of the DGs IMHO.
I would recommend the X-Factors, ACs, Tusks, and ive heard that the WB nerfs are pretty good but have never seen a set.

i have the old style AC pro pegs. and after 3 years they are still holding up great and i put mine thru a lot of abuse. the teeth are worn down a lot but thats typical. great customer service over at AC too. i def say get some AC nerfs. casey has some DG's on his EX and they are horrible quality

[phatswinn]

lmao thats a new one...but yea i have them,they help up alright,they rusted like chit though,and i had to get the rust off,i couldnt have rust on my quad no way in hell,so i got some bling done to them:o

[JDiablo]

the black pieces were the parts that rusted so bad,and now i got orange rust stains on my frame that thank god i got out

['03'300ex'er]

i have dg alloy nerfs, and i know how everyone downs them but mine are just like when i bought them a year ago! i mostly woods ride and trail ride so maybe thats the reason thier still straight :confused:

[mps5000]

my alloys bent a bit, but i had a hard time with rust on the black parts

[JDiablo]

yea that why i got them chits powdercoated,i couldnt stand the look of it:grr:

[Myrtle150]

Im runnin some dg alloy fat series (only because i got a GOOD deal) but there holdin up really good, have taken some hard hits and havnt rusted all yet..which surprised me

[bradley300]

ive had a set of alloy series nerfs for 3 years now on the 300 and theyu hold up alright, they havent bent at all and just one U bolt has snapped, but there still tight

[300ex_honda]

ive got aluminum on my 400 right now and they always seem to bend down abit near the front, but no problems with bolting or nothing

[rollie]

after everyride i ave to retighten all the bolts cuz they rattle loose but there are a couple i dont have to tighten......because there rusted on there:eek: :mad:

i just ordered some AC's so i dont have to worry about them anymore:)

now that 1 is good it got me laughin.....something i never would have thought of


anyways....yea dg is bad..im not sure how their new DG pro pegs are but i dont know if id be willing to spend 200 buxor more on some nerfs then they break or bend....just my .02....get some AC nerf bars proally the best and the last set of nerfs u will need......my ac pro pegs took a lt 250 to the side of them only thing it did was put a small dent in the nerf itself....other than that....they are still holding up and i love them....had them since easter 03 and they are the oldstyle

[sparky450AR]

The new DG propegs have the most foot room to manouver around. My dad has an old set of propegs on his 416ex....they are aluminum bars, but steel pegs and they havent been hurt in over 3 years. Also...tim farr doesnt seem to mind using them!
