    Default Finally installed the EVO sway bar

    Not sure why it took me so long but I finally got to it today. Pretty easy job and I followed the instructions which calls for frunk removal....I really don't think that's necessary but I wanted to see what was in behind there....even found a few zerk fittings so I blew some grease in while I was there.

    Then out for a test ride....what a difference, the bike will actually stay planted in the center of the lane instead of wandering from line to line. I really like it, for sure a worthwhile modification.

    Now maybe I won't hold up Randy, Rob $ Ron on the next ride!

    I was thinking about a sway bar , do you have a link to where you got it from ?

    On side by side off road vehicles we take them off for more suspension travel. Funny to add one to keep the suspension down on something else.

    If it was really necessary I would like to think Can Am would of put the sway bar on from the start . Wonder what the reason is that they didn't ?

    I did a search and can't find anything on the EVO sway bar , eBay , amazon or bing search ?

    Are the new 2012 sway bars on the RSS better than the older models ?

    Evoluzione, the maker of the sway bar in question, is currently out of business. Bajaron, a site sponsor, will be selling a sway bar shortly.

    I got it from a forum member from Austrailia....think it was MRB, but he only had 6 of them and is now sold out.

    As for why BRP didn't install these right at the factory, I don't know, they certainly should have. There is no ride comfort compromised, that I can tell, and nearly all of the 'squirrelyness' that bugged me so bad is gone.

    As wyliec said, Bajaron will be releasing some new ones soon. Keep an eye on this thread....

    After listening to you guys, I'll definitely have to ride last in the Gawker group. But, I will not ride directly behind Bob when he's wearing his new riding pants.

    I wasn't leading....I was being chased!!

    Yeah, that road just begs you to grab some throttle....but it's lousy with gendarmerie most of the time!!

    I've been really lucky out there too....
