Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on July 28, 2013, 08:10:17 PM: I saw some nice alba nerfs on ebay with heel guards for a good price, so i messaged them asking for R nerfs to which they replied no. They said i was only the second to ask in a few years. I told them just because nobody really calls, it doesnt mean people arent on ebay everyday typing in "trx250r nerf bars". Anyway, after some messages back and forth, they agreed to make some for trx250rs if i could find someone in the sandiego area who would loan their R for mock up. If anyone in that area is willing to let team alba use their quad to mock up nerfs with heel guards for Rs, let me know and ill get the guy from albas name and number...

Post by: Victork on July 29, 2013, 12:32:55 AM: These are the nerfs they need a 250R there to make. 180 shipped is what these run[ATTACH=CONFIG]1077[/ATTACH]
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: etccb on July 29, 2013, 08:24:09 AM: Yes we need those for 180 shipped. We need to get an 86 and a 88-89 over there. 86 over 87 due to that extra bottom brace in the front nerf cross over area.

Post by: rablack21 on July 30, 2013, 08:16:38 AM: Surely, there is someone is California that would be willing to do this. It shouldn't take much for them to make some. The 450R versions of those are close to fitting the 86 model frames already.

Sky, this style is a propeg setup. The foot pegs are integrated into the design.

Post by: Pete362 on August 03, 2013, 06:31:12 PM: I bolted a set on my 86 250r and they bolted right up no problem or customizing
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on August 03, 2013, 09:21:52 PM: Yeah, but like in the pics, you need to make brackets to support the heel guards to the frame.

Sign me up. But Chicago to sandiego is a bit far for a mockup. Keep us posted!
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on August 04, 2013, 08:00:20 PM: I just threw it out there. Unless someone near san diego comes forward willing, theres nothing to keep you guys posted about. Fortunitely its an easy install on 250r as seen in the pics above.

Post by: Victork on August 10, 2013, 09:42:27 PM: I just bought a set yesterday. The tab on top of the heel guard is meant to mount to the plastic anyway.

Yes, Victork, post a pic when you get them mounted. Give us your feedback.

Post by: Victork on August 12, 2013, 11:43:01 PM: Since i first asked alba about these nerfs ive explained to them the process and how easy it is to put on the R. Cody at alba put $50 in my palpal for helping him out because they werent aware before! If you guys buy a set tell them youre buying them to put on your 250r! Ill have pics of mine mounted fri night
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on August 16, 2013, 03:28:33 AM: Got my nerfs today, even nicer in person. They do bolt right up. Theres only one issue i encountered, the hole under the peg where a bolt goes through to lock the nerf on the mounting plate is off. I drilled mine but i just sent cory from alba a message offering to mark the mounts where the hole needs to be drilled and send them back we will see. I think im gonna contact esr about a -1 brake lever and shifter as these nerfs sit back one inch.[ATTACH=CONFIG]1414[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1415[/ATTACH]

Post by: Victork on August 16, 2013, 11:11:24 AM: They seem to be stock height but i didnt measure height
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs

Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on August 16, 2013, 01:57:33 PM: I suppose i can seeing as only one side is on. Other than the that bolt hole being off a little its true bolt on. Im off to work in a min but i will tomorrow.

Let me know what brackets you need made.
Title: talked to alba about making 250r nerfs
Post by: Victork on August 16, 2013, 02:55:36 PM: From what i was told, the brackets are only fender supports.

Measuring from the center of the top peg bolt to the deck i got 1in on both the albas and a stock peg so they are stock height and 1in back. Ill try to get mounting pics tomorrow.

Post by: Victork on August 24, 2013, 08:56:25 PM: Never had time to get pics mounting them because pics look bad in my garage. They bolted right up in the front and back. I had to drill the hole where the bolt goes through under the peg thats it. Keep in mind youll need a shorter shifter/brake pedal.

Post by: Victork on September 29, 2013, 08:10:58 PM: I think they only come one way because they are 450 nerfs. I didnt think id like the peg sitting back but they feel awesome riding. I got alba to list them on ebay btw.

Title: Update: They are done!!!
Post by: ATC Maniac on October 04, 2013, 02:19:00 AM: Update....Took my 88 to Cory for mock up 3 weeks ago. Picked it up today with new Alba nerfs and they are ready for sale. They have 11 sets ready to go right now. The price is $230 but will be lowered once they get the footpegs so they don't have to fab them in house.

Post by: scawn on October 04, 2013, 08:39:26 AM: I was just talking to Cory about the Alba 400ex a-arms on my 250R the other day and he didn't realize how easy they were to make fit. He said they had a 250r there now and he was going to check it out. It must have been yours. He gave me a killer deal on a complete bushing kit for the front. Alba is definitely a great company and their a-arms are awesome because they come with adapters that let you run standard travel shocks or you can remove the adapter and run long travel shocks.

Post by: Victork on October 05, 2013, 12:14:51 AM: Cory defenitely is a decent guy to deal with imo and i love the nerfs, they look great but perform even better!

Post by: d-rock on October 05, 2013, 09:50:07 AM: The Alba stuff is pretty nice. I installed a set of their 400ex arms on R last year. just had to make some spacers. still running 450 shocks, Haven't bought the long travels yet.
