Looking at a Baja Ron anti-sway bar. I've already installed Elka Stage ii. What will I FEEL after I get this installed. Thanks. Oh, I ride a 2014 RT...

I'll be watching this closely. I have a 2014 RT and is stock form it's a whole lot better than my 2011 was.
I added the Baja Ron sway bar to the 2011 and it cornered like it was on rails.
My 2014 doesn't stay as flat as the 2011 with the added sway bar so I'm curious to hear what everyone has to say.
I won't change the shocks, just the sway bar if I do anything.
Made a huge difference for me especially because we ride two up most of the time.
You will feel less body roll in corners, flatter turns with more authority, it just tracks better as to where you're pointing it. And if you're crazy enough, you'll feel your front tires "roll" occasionally...:yikes:
(My wife says that to me, and I have the back of shoulder bruises to prove it!)
The sway bar fixed two things for me:
1) when an oncoming bus or semi goes by you, I am no longer pushed around on the road by the wind. Thats not to say I don't feel the air turbulance, just that the bike no longer moves around because of it.
2) Before the bar, when i took corners, mostly long sweeping corners on the freeway, the bike would "rock" (?) sideways part way through the corner, and I would lose the line I was riding. This no longer happens. Cornering is easy and controlled.

Mostly you will feel Damn Glad that you installed it.:clap:
Based on the recommendation of about a hundred owners here.......I have ordered one and now have it in hand.
IF....I get it put on and it does not make a significant difference in the ride stability feel, I figure that each of you hundred people owe me about $2.30 for your share of a bad recommendation !!!! :roflblack:
Brendal,
The anti-sway bar addition to my :spyder2: made a noticeable difference in handling ( like many hundreds here ) in turning and stability. I also added spring stiffeners. Time after time ryders here have added a better than OEM anti-sway bar and are very pleased with it. To me it was money WELL spent.
