Dreams of Big Red 250ES Brush/Nerf bars

[PawPaw]

Greetings. I have a dream that one day I will have a set of Brush/nerf bars on my newly acquired Big Red. The more I look and read, the more I realize that it will remain exactly that...a dream. I would purchase a pair if I found any, but not for 1/2 the price I paid for the bike(so that option is out). I do not have the means or time to build my own set. Very surprised that one of the guys here haven't started making them to sell for a reasonable price. If that ever happens, I will be first in line to buy. If anyone knows how I may get my hands on a set, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Until then, as one of my favorite artists sang, "keep on dreamin boy, cause when you stop dreamin it's time to die"

Do you have a pic of what your wanting? I'm curious.

I have NOS NIB,, Dustrunner here had a set for sale recently I think? You are right, they command a decent buck.

I am guessing he is looking for brush guards like this. :drool:

Trickshot give me some better pictures please.

I'm about to fab up some for my bike.

Depending on how they turn out....

I like those! Makes me wanna buy a 1 or 3/4 die for my jd2 bender.

I'd be interested in some better photos too such as where it mounts up etc. My dad is laid off, has metal working tools and knows how to use them, and my cousin has a pipe bender... =D. Seems like a simple enough design overall.

I just installed a set on my big red today. will get pic in am.

Can you get a pic of how they protect the bottom end? I've been thinking of building one cause we do a lot of riding in the rocks

Micheal J Fox is that you?

[PawPaw]

apologies for the delayed response. Can't really find any pics better than the ones above for the 250es. Bolt to the lower front motor mounts and the foot pegs, and I believe just a sheet metal for a skid plate with a hole to access the oil plug for maintenance. If one of you guys ends up making some I would looooove to buy a set.

[PawPaw]

Yes please Trickshot sir....give him some better pics......Man you would be a hero to probably more people than you could imagine. Seems like a lot of people on the hunt for them...

Seems I overlooked the tread for some reason, but anyways. Those photos earlier I got off the net. Seems there are several different designs. I'm not sure which is correct "hondaline" design, but this one looks to show everything good to be able to get some good ideas for those interested in making some.

Here is a link to an old eBay auction which can still see the pics. Says its for the 250sx but still gives a good overall view to make something out of it wanted. Looks the same other then not having foot peg mount tabs, and having some extra holes in the bottom plate.

I have some on my big red I just bought. The original owner said he ordered them from the dealer back in 85...I'll throw up some pics sometime.

[big specht]

Ok thanks I would like to build some for the bikes we have

[Georgiabii]

Doesn't look too difficult. But I doubt I'll bother with the skid plate.

[Keepah Rolln]

Just picked up this big red from the original owner a couple days ago...Heres a picture with the foot guards..

Ahh ok, so it bolts to the front engine mount on the frame, and must use the oem skid plate bolt locations for the back side. Little more there than I thought, almost looks like some funky rear rack lol.
