Best fitting nerfs for 05 450r

[Smidgy]

Well the time has finally come, i was out running my quad on a little track just playin around, and i broke my leg pretty good. I broke my shin bone in half, and the little one in three pieces. I always planned to get nerfs, but just put it off and put it off, well not anymore, I gotta get some before i am ready to get back on so I can show that jump that got me a thing or two. So I was wondering what you guys could come up with the best fitting nerfs on the 05 450r

[nowukno]

Not sure which nerfs fit the best but i have been putting off getting nerfs as well. Im making my first trip to a MX practice track saturday. The track is nothing too fancy and the jumps are not that big but im sure i will be wishing i had some nerfs by the end of the day. Im probably going to order some at the beggining of next week. STUPID HURTS! Im planning on getting the AC black line or the pro-armor fat pegs.

[Lonestar_R]

Not AC's thats for sure.....

I don't know this to be true..........but from all the reading i've done in these forums, AC has to be the worst fitting nerfs out there. I've read far more complaints about AC products fitment, then any other brand.

my ac pro pegs went on no trouble. stay away from pro armor pro pegs,pain in the butt.my opinion though.

What was wrong with the Pro Armor Fat Pegs? I'm thinking about picking a set of those up soon.

[Smidgy]

yea that is about what I have heard about the ac nerfs, is that you will have to bend them, if they are new. Since I am from canada picking up a used set is a little harder, unless you want to pay duty on them, in which case you are almost as well of to just get the new ones. The riding I do is mostly pretty extreme trail riding, and i play on a track, but never race. We hit some pretty extreme pits etc, and I want to make sure that when i get a set, they provide me with the safety and support that I will need, because the last thing i need is to break my other leg.

P.S. my buddies have all been pooking around that i will be faster than them now since I have a titanium rod and screws in my leg, lol kinda funny.

i also had no troubles with my AC's

[john.E.business]

Im running pro pregs and didn't have any problems with them and they seem to be pretty nice set of nerfs...JMO

AC all the way :macho

[dirtdog450r]

i agree with gearsmoker i just purchasd a set of ac nerfs for my 05 trx450 and they fitted perfect the only real challenge was drilling an extra hole in your foot pegs ,but like i said they fitted perfect and look great ac all the way:cool:

[Smidgy]

Thanks for all the help. I think that I will go ahead and order a set of ac's as soon as i can get up and get to my local shop. I still haven't run it by him, he may have some info that can help me out.

[red4r]

i have an 05 and my ac's didnt fit rite away i had to cut about an inch off one of the ends where u connect them but it was no big deal there really nice other than that

[quadfam4]

Have AC and Pro Armor on 5 of my quads. Had to screw with all three AC nerfs and they move a bit. Bolted up both the Pro Armor nerfs no problem and they are solid, much better mounting system.

I had those, they cracked on a tree. Do not reccomend.

[JF400EX]

I've put AC's on my '05 and '06 and both went on perfect. And I've bashed those suckers into trees and been t-boned by knucklehaeds and never had a crack in them...

[jeff graves]

the old x-factor pegs are now sold through roll design pro pegs with optional heel guards they are a very hi quality nerf and have a few options for them and also blingstar has nerf,yes they are manufactured through the same company that does AC but have a different design and the look is not to bad I have used the graydon pro-line pegs witch then was x-factor witch is now roll design since 1988 on all my guads and the have allways been a great product,check them out.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v707/jeffgraves/P1290002.jpg

[ex kid]

I got X Factor standard nerfs. they fit pretty well and have held up very well so far.

i have Advantage standard nerfs, which are the same as X-factor.
they have held up well.

[shamisc]

My AC Pro-pegs went on easy and are holding up good!;)

[Smidgy]

those nerfs look sweet, i will definately check them out, i will be up and riding in about three weeks (CAN'T WAIT!!!) my leg is coming good, i can all but walk on it now, no cast or anything, if you get the surgery you don't get a cast usually. Anyways, i will keep u informed on what i pick up

[White7]

After my leg surgery i was in a boot and on my ***** for 4 months,before i could even walk on it with the boot

When they have to do the plate a screw thing thats some pretty f***ed up s**t

[AlexG]

I am rocking DG's and they are doin pretty well so far. but that is just me

[PEPwalshZ440]

dude get the JRD ones....they're ****in huge and the peg is enormous.... www.jrdmech.com

[Smidgy]

i don't know what happened to you, but the doctor told me i would be up and walking 4 weeks after my accident, he said i would have a noticible limp, but what can u do i broke my lower leg into 5 pieces, and it has only been like 20 days and it can hold its wieght with no pain. i can feel the screws through my skin tho kinda gross

[TRX4FIDDYR]

ive owned alot of nerfs

tusk: fitment, good. quality, ok and they're soft (bend easy)

AC 2 sets: fitment, (bending, drilling, and fighting metal) not good at all. quality, good but they still bend pretty easily

pro-armor : fit, great (they lined up perfectly. quality, excellent (you can practilly jump on the edges and they dont bend)

i have heard that x-factors are nice too but i have no experience w/ these

[Modded R]

I have dg on my 400ex and 450r and love them. dad has ac on his and they fiited fine. my only complaint was that the netting doesn't go over far enough and it feels like my foot is going to go down through them.:ermm:

[GEARSMOKER]

my problems with the pro armors were fit and finish(it was a huge hassle to get the things to bolt up right. and strenth, after one half a season of hare scrambles the heelkick welds were breaking, and the mounting tabs to the a arms welds were breaking,other than that i loved them.:(

[400excracer]

I have owned DG and AC nerfs and they were a bear to mount up. I bought a set of Pro Armor nerfs and they bolted right up. I like the way they mount up.

[srt450R]

MY AC PROPEGS WERE NO PROBLEM. THEY WENT ON SMOOTH AND LOOK GREAT. WOULDN'T CHANGE THEM FOR THE WORLD.
