peterlocal22 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Im running the AC Pro Peg Nerf Bars but I need get a different style because Im thinking about throwing some 22 inch tires in the rear. I have a -2 swing arm and Im pretty sure the tire is going to rub against the heel guard on the Nerf bars. I really love the AC Pro Peg with heel guards but will need to make a change. Can anyone recommend a nerf bar that will work with my set up? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Tough call for anything with a heel guard to clear 22" tires on a -2 swinger. There are those nerfs with heel guards on the Ebay Europe. But I wouldn't hold your breath on making that work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yes I agree, I will have to run no heel guard. Looking for reviews from guys with no heel nerf bars or maybe Ill just cut my heel guards off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I don't run heel guards on my nerfs. I usually lean way back on the pegs, so a heel guard would be in my way. But I also run IMS pegs. So my foot is pretty firmly planted on the peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 if you run into clearance issue you can send the bars to me and I can modify them for you. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 nerf bars also help in trails. The keep brush and shit from coming off the front tires and smacking you. and these nerfs work well. They are AC bars and I'm actually thinking I will sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Im thinking of just cutting the heel guard down a little and re-welding. Also might run 21 inch rears so save an inch over the 22's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 you all must ride like a bunch of cheerleaders then. We have tons of close calls around here. Also nerfs help keep you from tipping over and help save your plastics if you do tip over. I have been on 2 tires (sideways) before and the nerfs kept me from going over. But I guess some people just don't like to push their luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I agree nerf are for more than just MX. Products might be first imagined for one thing but it doesn't mean that's all you can use it for. Look at plado, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 comparing a roll cage to nerf bars, thats a stretch! the banshee was made for the dunes does that mean you should only run it in the sand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nothing wrong with nerfs. They keep me out of the Kold Kutters for the most part and tend to keep other riders tires off me. I use them for different foot placement for better traction and it helps a ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATVridinMaNiAc Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 While nerfs can be annoying what they provide outweighs that, protection from other bikes, debris flying up, helps with balancing out on extreme leans, gives you more foot placement options if need be, helps haul a passenger, helps prevent floot slipping off peg or getting caught in tire, gives a good place to grab incase something happends and you need to lift the bike up onto its side or flip it over if its on top of somebody or something. Things i hate about them is the extra 50lbs of mud they collect and how sometimes shit gets stuck in the nets, sometimes your foot can actually get caught in it also other than that i like them.
