I can't fine any nerf bars compatible with the SE without modification. Does anyone one know of some that work with the Stock pegs / Heel guard? I guess the heel guard is the problem but im new to all this and dont feel like replacing it / modifying anything. Not trying to spend over 120 dollars.

So let's get this straight, you have a brand new $12k bike, and you're worried about trying to not spend $120 on nerf bars? Why in the world would you want to keep the stock pegs and heel guard? They're trash.

If you're that worried about the money then get the albas or tusk brand, and maybe talk to customer service to make sure they will fit properly.

The SE has the aluminun heel guards, which are really good, not the plastic ones like the R and base models have.
I'm not a fan of nerf bars at all, but you can get just the nerf bar frame and net that fits on to the stock pegs, and they are around your price range.
All Raptor 700 nerf bars are the same, so just order them for an older model.
The nerf bars that have the built in footpegs and heel guards are the ones that are expensive, with more parts and stronger materials.

The manufacturers and some reviews say the nerf bars dont fit with the SE heel guards, need to be modified by 2 inches, i guess i'll see what i can do

Gotcha, then I would trust what they say in terms of fit, as those nerf bars may have tubes that go outside the stock peg, and may contact the aluminum heel guard with the plastic side trim, vs the difference in shape compared to the plastic heel guards.
If I were you I'de sell the SE heel guards and plastic side trim pieces, look them up, they're not cheap, and use that money with your $120, and buy whichever nerf bars that you want.
You can easily afford the nerfs with built in pegs and heel guards then.
New SE heel guards are $300.
Their plastic trim is $100.

I have A 2020 Raptor 700R SE and I put on the Alba nerf bars with the stock pegs and stock heel guard with the little plastic piece and they fit perfect. Not sure if there is any difference between the 2020 and the 2023, however don’t think they changed much between the years. Hope this helps and I can send you photos if you would like to see what it looks like.
