    Dreams of Big Red 250ES Brush/Nerf bars

    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"

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

    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.

    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
    If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet

    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.

    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.
