i am lookin into some new nerf bars and i have heard alot of good things from people on here about them, i have also talked to several guys at the track who have them and love them! well the only problem i have with getting them is no heel guard! i almost want to say that i will be fine without heel guards but i know sure as i do my foot will miss the peg and get run over.
well on with the important question, will the IMS heel guards fit the x-factor berfs?
and also if anyone want to share they thoughts on the x-factors qaulities that would be great.
thanks, chris

Pappy, have you ever had a problem with your feet going in back behind the pegs?
that is my biggest fear, bc i had a friend on his 450R break his ankle that way. hit i alittle double foot missed the peg and snap! boot never stood a chance at stoppin it.

Only once and that was in the 80's on my LT500. I jumped some redneck hill in a field and took a bad bounce, my right foot went behind the peg breaking my leg just below the knee. Heel gaurds would have prevented it, but at that time heelgaurds werent available, heck nerf bars were a rarity.
I have riden quads with heel gaurds and i cant seem to get used to them.

I have IMS footpegs and heelguards on my 450R. The heelguards are made to fit the IMS footpegs. You might be able to drill holes on the x-factors, but then the heelguard rear mounts probably will not line up correctly. I had my foot sucked under the rear tire once because of no heeguard and that was enough for me to realize I need heelguards. I like the x-factor pro peg and would have bought some, but like you said no heelguard. The IMS parts are more expensive, but alot cheaper than broken bones!

I'm with Pappy. thats because your crazy.
but i personally cant stand them too. ive only lost my foot off the peg maybe once. but other than that, i cant stand them. people say yea the money could save you your leg, but i cant stand them.

How to distinguish fishing waders from quad bike waders? Is there a difference? To make life easier for thousands of novice athletes, we decided to write a detailed analysis. We present the fundamental and not very differences in this unusual equipment.
If you ever went to the equipment store, you probably noticed that the shelves with waders were almost bursting with all kinds of models. And they differ not only in color, but also in materials, cut, shoes, and other parameters. We traditionally decided to find out where the truth lies. Let's talk about what we found out!
Contents
Good waders are light, comfortable and 100% mud and water resistant. Waders are convenient to take with you, they are quite compact, they are folded into a special bag, similar to the change bag. The average depth of water or mud for which the equipment is enough is up to 1.5 meters. Waders are divided according to the following parameters.
The best option for all occasions: membrane waders with neoprene socks, special boots, thermal underwear set with fleece lining. In this case, the shoes will fix the ankle, protecting it from injuries and dislocations, and the breathable fabric will not let you snag even during a difficult transition.
Waders are currently the best equipment for wading and sea fishing. Dense waterproof fabric reliably protects from water ingress. Usually waders have a height just below the armpits, that is, you can enter the water up to your chest. Quietly standing right in the pond and fishing for your own pleasure is a wonderful rest from the bustle of the city and the constant noise of cars.
All waders listed above are suitable for fishing. There are universal solutions, for example, membrane waders and wading boots. But let's analyze the basic requirements for fishing equipment.
Fishing waders are simpler and lighter, therefore cheaper. At the same time, powerful models designed for quadsport are often taken for fishing. This is a good solution if you have to break through the bushes and make frequent transitions.
Expert opinion!
We asked our consultants and fishing friends what kind of waders they use and why. Based on the answers, we got a small but very useful TOP-5 of the best fishing waders.
ATV riding is much more active than fishing. Therefore, non-breathable materials, neoprene and PVC, will not be the best solution. With the right undergarment - a layer of thermal underwear and a comfortable fleece - you can achieve comfort, but it will take more effort.
More sophisticated, reinforced and durable, quad bike waders are serious protection against any weather delights.
Expert opinion!
We asked our consultants and fellow ATV fans what gear they buy and why. Based on the answers received, we compiled the following interesting TOP-5 of the best ATV waders.

Consider design features that apply to all ATVs that contribute to safer operation.
ATV suspension systems vary by machine.
ATV may have rear brakes only or have both front and rear independently controlled brakes.
Drivers should be taught how to use the braking system properly to reduce the risk of loss of control due to hard braking.
The rear fenders and the footrest or footrest must be designed to make it difficult or impossible for the foot to slide off and get caught under the rear wheel.
Muffler, exhaust gases and other hot engine components must be located or protected to prevent burns. The design must also prevent dry debris from accumulating near hot exhaust parts to reduce the risk of fire.
Safe ATV operation includes proper clothing, protective equipment, and proper ATV safety practices.
Full face shield helmets provide the most protection.
