Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

[troop]

Also took some time to install a SE tubular front bumper. Really tight spaces to get the nylock nuts started, but backing tape on the wrench helped. Next up will be the cat delete, but really need to figure out this vertigo crap

So if I get the Ultra Sway Bar, it doesn't need to be lifted up so high to install it? I don't care about saving the stock sway bar, so would it be feasible to cut it in half with with an angle grinder perhaps and then remove it in two pieces, thus negating the need to get the bike 2-3' up in the air?

I just cut off one end and slid it out.

Nope .. The Ultra bar will slide in easily from the side or through wheel spokes.

Awesome. That sounds like the ticket. I think I'll order the ultra sway bar just for the ease of installation, and I do ride 2-up a lot as well so it seems like that's the one to get.

Hey Troop, Google "Epley Maneuver". It has helped me.

That ^^ does often work well for BPPV, or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, which is probably the most likely cause for the majority of vertigo sufferers who haven't had any Traumatic Brain Injuries... But sadly, it doesn't work for all of us, & in/with some instances/situations/causes, it can even make the vertigo & nausea, ataxia, etc worse, often taking quite a few months to settle back down if at all, just because it was the wrong thing to do! Do you really need to ask me how I know this?!

So it's important that you get the cause of your vertigo & any other symptoms diagnosed properly by someone trained in the necessary processes & tests, and only if your condition is clearly BPPV should you let anyone (preferably someone appropriately trained & practiced in the technique... ) carry out an Epley Manouvre (or maybe more than one?!) on you!

Just Sayin'

I pulled my 2011 RS onto a set of car ramps and removed the frunk. The instructions on removing the frunk came with the sway bar.
