New baja ron sway bar with lamonster links just installed
Hello
Just finished installing the baja ron sway bar with lamonster links. Like everyone has said this is definitely an upgrade worth doing. I have a 2017 f3 t. It now corners so much better its a different riding expirience. I cant stress enough how important it is too get the bike elevated 22 inches high so you can get the other sway bar out. Start to finsh it took an hour to get it done. One link seemed a little tight so ill email lamonster to get a replacement for it but besides that everything is good. Thanks to all those that recommended this upgrade its well worth it.

Sprinkler valve box hole used for depth need to remove the bar:
I installed the sway bar on my F3 using a slightly different process.
I drove the front wheels up onto those cheap plastic car ramps you can buy at Harbor Freight. I removed the plastic shroud/pins that give access to the the pinch bolts that hold the bar in place. I removed these bolts/nuts as well as the stiffener bolt/nut/spacers. I left the Heim rod ends attached.
Next step: I slowly drove the bike into my yard where I had a sprinkler valve box. This box happened to be two boxes stack (one inverted over the other) so it was almost 2 ft deep. I removed the sprinkler valve box cover and place a 2x6 board on each side for the front wheels to drive upon for further height and support. I removed the bolts from the Heim rod ends on both sides and lower the bar down and out. I installed the new bar, attached the bolts on the Heim rod ends, drove the bike back into the garage. I drove the Spyder back onto the cheap-O car ramps and finished up the process.
I have to thank BajaRon for the idea. He mentioned that some people have driven Spyders over a manhole in the road to gain the desired distance required to remove the bar.
I hope this helps.
