How to Install ATV Nerf Bars

Nerf bars can be a great addition to your ATV. They make riding much easier and can make taking passengers even simpler. Nerf bars keep your feet from hitting the ground if you miss the foot-pegs. This makes riding safer, especially if you do not own special gear such as riding boots and knee pads.

Things You'll Need

• Tool set Nerf bars compatible with your ATV

Instructions

1. Remove the seat on the ATV. This is usually done by putting pressure on a clamp, but sometimes you must unscrew mounting bolts to remove the seat.

2. Remove the front and rear plastics from the ATV. This must be done so that you can easily access the area to mount the nerf bars.

3. In rare cases, you must remove the foot-pegs and brake and shift levers from the ATV. Consult the manual from your ATV manufacturer for detailed instructions on these processes.

4. Slide the nerf bars under the ATV and mount them on the frame. In most cases, there will already be mounting bolt holes for nerf bar kits. However, if your ATV frame does not have these bolt holes, then you must drill your own. In either case, make sure that the bars are mounted very securely and that they are attached with at least six different bolts.

5. Replace the ATV plastics and the seat.

6. Attach any webbing to the nerf bars that wasn't already attached when the bars were purchased.

Tips & Warnings

• Check your ATV's frame for nerf bar mounting holes before purchasing them, so you know what to expect.

• Always be aware of pinch points when working around ATVs.
