RT Sway Bars are NOW IN STOCK!

[BajaRon]

I'm leaving right now to pick this batch up from the Powder Coater's. I will be shipping out as many as I can today filling Pre-Paid orders as I received them. Thank you everyone for your patience. I hope to be able to get these produced faster than they are selling, (which has been a challenge so far).

Of course I also have the RS, GS, RS-S bars in stock for those of you who would like a great upgrade to the handling on your Spyder. You'll need this to keep up with the RT riders that have upgraded theirs!

Is this the run of Anti-SwayBars that you promised to powdercoat in PINK ?

[Chupaca]

Way to go Ron, installing mine today RS and the sun is a shining so I will be ryding on...

[mrfats]

Make sure you bring plenty to SpyderFest!

[pwilbarger]

I guess I should get online and pay the invoice for my bar now to get on the list.

PAID!

I am going to be very busy shipping the rest of the day but rest assured, I'll get to everyone. Don't know how long this batch will last but I already have another order in the pipeline so hopefully I won't run out again. Thank you to everyone for being so patient with me on this one.

Thanks Ron; Hope mine gets shipped; If not till the next batch no biggie, its to cold to put it on now anyway. Had snow, sleet, and freezing rain this morning, not good ryding weather. RussPIC-0537.jpgmtl_create_us_states_map[1].gif

No... But stay tuned! There may be something of interest to the 2013 owners.

If I were to replace my current Spyder which has the Evo bar on it.First thing I would do is order a new one from Ron. A better sway bar then stock is the best mod I did to my 2010RTS. I also have a set of 2012 front struts on the Spyder but I can only run them on 2 setting other wise far to stiff for wife and I. Are total weight for both of us is 300lbs.

Just a note of information here.

The difference between the EVO bar and my bar for the RT is significant in 2 ways. The EVO bar accomplishes a modest amount of improvement by shortening the arms of the sway bar. This changes the geometry of the linkage which attaches the sway bar to the suspension from the ideal (vertical) to a forward cant.

This in itself is not a huge deal. The problem is that there is very little clearance between these moving parts and the suspension with the stock setup. The EVO bar reduces this clearance even further. This can cause the moving linkage to contact hard parts on the suspension which can damage the Heim Joint Links.

My bar accomplishes a greater degree of control than is provided by the EVO bar by increasing the size of the bar while retaining the original geometry engineered by BRP. You get a better result without endangering suspension components. This is the main reason I do not make bars with multiple holes (called 'Adjustable' bars). There is no way multiple mounting locations will give you the correct orientation of the Heim Link Joints as engineered by BRP.

It is very easy to check your Spyder for unwanted contact issues. The Heim Joint Links are a black composite (Plastic) compound located at each end of the sway bar. You will see that the bottom of these links come very close to the forward portion of the A-Arm. If the paint has been removed from the A-Arm near the Heim Link Joint then you are getting unwanted contact.

If there is a divit worn into the steel A-Arm then you have severe contact and you should really do something about that. Checking the condition of your Heim LinK Joints would also be in order.

Received USPS shipping info a little while back. Thanks Ron.

Thank you for great info Ron. I will be checking on this as soon as possible.

I know it sounds like I'm just hawking my bar but during the development stages of this project I did a fair amount of research. I had the EVO bar on my RS and I always felt it performed well. But when I took it off to test my prototypes I discovered that one heim link joint was hitting my A-Arm. The EVO bar I had did not have the limiting collars which made the situation worse as the bar would move side to side as the suspension articulated.

But I found that even with limiting collars installed I still got a bit of contact on hard turning. I also found that the bar was not symmetrical. One arm was longer than the other by a surprising amount, (the short arm being the one that was hitting).

Fortunately, it wasn't hitting hard enough to have done any damage. But it should never hit at all.

I only had the one EVO bar so I can't say this issue was universal. But as I discussed it with other EVO owners I found that some discovered the same problem.

My main point here being that if you own an EVO bar, you might want to make sure you're not having contact as others have had.

Installed sway bar today and it was pretty simple install. Instructions were easy to understand. Also while there with bike in air did new brakes that I purchased from Ron also. Ran the tires over to Walmart and had them rotated to get more miles out of them. Hardest part of the whole job was watching them do that. I'm not sure they could do that job as well as me. Going to be relaying on Ride-On to balance the wheels. It was funny when I got home and notice a pound on weights on the rims I could only smile and shake my head. I removed all the weights and installed back on the bike. Can't wait to do a test ride.
