I'm still looking for a set of nerfs for my KFX and Ive pretty much narrowed it down to the ProArmor and AC pro pegs, I think :confused: Does anyone know how each of these mount in front? I looked @ UM racing nerfs, I've used there products before and they fit very well(compared to AC), but their mounting instructions say to drill through the motor mounts :eek: making sure to stay exactly in the center as to not weaken them :confused: kinda scares me. I know Rath makes very nice stuff but there is no way I'm gonna spend $400.00+ on a set of nerf bars and heel guards, I also looked at the IMS ones and they would be over $500.00.

not sure if these are the ones your considering, these mount using the a arm bolt, and other existing brackets, no drilling

the only drilling i had to do was on the bar that hold the peg for the 2 bolts on each side

I like the way the AC nerfs mount in front but I thought the portion behind the pegs were nets on the AC's. My buddy just got a set for his 525irs and they were nets front and rear. Have they changed recently or do certain models use solid heel guards?

I'm a buddy now:D

Hee Hee.

Anyways, Does anyone have the DG nerfs? If so how do they mount up front? Is it similar to others??

I COULDNT TELL YOU IF DIFFERENT MODELS HAVE NETS. I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD CATCH ALOT OF STICKS AND STUFF FROM THE TIRES.

I think I'm going to go with the AC pro pegs. Anyone know where I can get them for less than $300.00?

keep an eye on ebay. there's a guy on there that sells AC blems at a reduced price. I got mine for $125 and the only thing wrong was they had some scuffs on them. I have purchased some for my YFZ450 and only thing wrong with them was a mounting tab for the webbing was welded at an angle.

here is a pic of mine:

The AC nerfs are really nice but have a friend there to help you as you need someone to pull the bars forward while you replace the A-arm bolt . I have been jumping a lot and they are holding up very well .


Also get a pro armor swing arm skid plate , the AC Racing one is very weak and bends when you hit a rock which caused me to crash . The pro armor one is way better built . This is what one rock did to the AC Racing skid plate .

i have pro armor fat peg nerfs. they are great no problems yet, seem real strong from what i can tell so far. i had no drilling, but it was a tight fit. but everything is a tight fit.

You got it backwards, the Pro Armor is on the LEFT and the AC is on the RIGHT.
