I don't care for the look of the stock ones on my Predator, but I think the aluminum look pretty good. I also find myself leaning back on the bike going over whoops and stuff and actually pressing against the heelguard for leverage. Plus, I ride a Predator, so a pound or 2 is going to go unnoticed by me.

 

I do mostly trail riding. I'm looking at standard nerf bars without the heal guards or pegs. I've noticed some of the mailorder companies are advertising free shipping on orders of $100 or more, so that may come into play. Does anyone know if the Tusk nerf bars sold by Rocky Mountain ATV are steel or aluminum?

 

Stay away from any that mount to the frame via u-bolts. It is a real PITA dealing with a skidplate when you have u-bolts in the way.

 

Its nerf bars....seriously....aluminum and nets....just buy some that look like what u want...none really perform better than others jackass.

 

Well i must agree with 'theturtle' because i think it's all about how it would look on ur bike.i didn't really care when i bought mine, i just thought steel was better then alum so i bought steel.....So i think it's simple,choose colour(steel will be mostly black,aluminum...well aluminum !!),nets colour, nerf shape and of course, price.
Have fun deciding [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
