I know some of you think nerf bars on a trike is pointless, but I wanted them and so i made some.

I went to my local hardware store, bought some iron pipes, screwed them together, painted them all up, and then sewed the nerf bar nets to the bars. Finally, i mounted the bars using thouse "U-Clamp" looking things.

I dont think they look too bad considering i dont know how to weld and it was my fist time "fabricating" something.

Please excuse it being dirty, I love to ride the bike.

I searched nerf bar nets on cheapcycleparts.com and basically just picked a pair of netting...hoping that it would fit. And what do you know, it did.

I have been wanting some after running over my own heel several times last time out. I was definitely going to add some kinda heel guard because my problem is slipping off the back in the air. I like how your look though, and the fact that they don't need welding (I would end up welding mine since I have a welder but it's nice to not HAVE to.

It took about two weeks, but that is mostly because i had to wait for the nerf nets to get here.

Price, well, if i didnt screw up as many times that i did, it would probably cost around 50 bucks to make them.
