I've got Graydon Proline on mine and they look mean. They are bigger than most brand and I think they are the best ones out. I paid 214 for mine plus peg extenders from James Lucky. My friend has DG and I highly do not recommend them, they look like crap. As for AC, I'm not to sure, but I hear they are good.

I rode with a set of DG nerfs for the first time yesterday. Sort of a test ride. I had problems with my boots hanging in the nets. My boot is about four sizes larger than the owners however. Hearing your stories makes me want nerfs more now. Ouch!

 

Yes a set of nerfs is an invaluable investment in sport riding/racing. Not only do they give you a larger area for foot placement, they offer protection from objects (trees, other quads, etc.) entering the area between the front and rear tires and smashing your leg or foot. I run AC ProPegs on my 89 TRX250R and I won't ride without them now. I'm sure the set they make for your model has the same quality as mine. As far as getting your foot caught in the nets, the fix for that is rotating your gear shift pedal upwards allowing for the larger boot. Heal quickly and be safe!!

lightinin, i am now sold on the ac's, i am gonna order them tommorrow ,thanks for the help on finding a good pair. by the way did you ever get that exhaust system on your ex yet? i believe you have a post on aftermaket exhaust for the 400. i have the big gun and like it alot, although alot of other members don't . i personally would tell you to buy it, i think you would be very satisfied.

 

Thanks WMS,

No I haven't made my mind up yet. I'm checking into the LRD pipe. I have their system on my R and I can't imagine a better pipe. Little more research and I'll make the plunge. Thanks for the input!!

Hey, just thought I would add in on the conversation.

I don't have a 400ex, but I do have a 91 250x with a 350x motor in it and I have a set of nerf bars on it, hopefully soon to be switched out to AC nerfs. Nerfs are a valuable investment indeed. I am also in the process of restoring/modifying a 86 250r into a 350rx. AC nerfs will be installed on this machine also. I used to race MX back in 88-89 on quads. I always ran nerfs back then also. I did witness several accounts of riders being drug under their quads by the back wheels, nerfs would have helped their situations.

Also I hope your ankle gets better. About six weeks ago I had a accident of my own. I was riding a friends Honda XL on rough concrete and when I applied the front brake there happened to be a rock under the front tire which threw the bike to the right side. I was travelling less than 15 mph but severe damage was done to my left knee. The top of the tibia was broken on both sides, one side was broken into small parts and basically wasn't there anymore. I have gone through surgery and now have two metal plates and eight screws holding it all together. I am hoping to get back on my feet again sometime in January.

Good luck again

 

BRAD L , another AC fan i see , i ordered the AC pro pegs last wednesday, i have been patiently waiting for them to come. hope you get back on your feet soon, i have those plates and screwes also, i am on my 4th week of being out of comission, can't wait to lose the cast. I want to thank everyone that posted areply on my question, i really appreciate it.
