2013 RS-RSS-ST-STS-ST Ltd Sway Bar In Production
Test Pilot reports have been very good on the Prototype 2013 sway bar so I have ordered production to begin. I hope to be shipping them by the end of next week if all goes well.
This bar is specifically designed for all the 2013, RS, RSS, ST, STS and ST Ltd. Spyders. Price will be $215.00 delivered. If you would like more information or would like to order this sway bar kit (or anything else I carry), just email me at fyredad@hotmail.com.
Thanks again to my volunteer Test Pilots. They are the greatest!

I'm sure that anyone who orders one will be glad that they did. They really improve the handling.

Quite a bit. Bar length, bends, mounting location and method. About the only thing the same is bar diameter and Heim joints.

How does the thicker swaybar that comes stock on the 2013 RS-S compare to this one? I am referring to thickness/stiffness.

My sway bar for the RS, ST line of 2013 Spyders is quite a bit stiffer than the RSS bar. Originally I was not going to make a sway bar for this model series because of the RSS bar being offered by BRP. But several customers purchased that bar and were not satisfied with it and asked if I'd at least look into making a heavier bar.
After doing testing it was clear that a stiffer bar gave a much improved ride so I now have a Custom Performance sway bar for the 2013 RS, RSS, and all models of the ST. They have been a big hit.

Update on centering device for 2013 bar?
Any development on collars or other device to keep the 2013 bar centered properly? My dealer remarked about it at my 600 mile service yesterday. The end links are in a bit of a bind as the bar shifts to the left. So far, no signs of problems but its not right. Seems collars like you supply on the older year bars would do the trick if machined the correct size for this installation.

Good luck with that. The gas fumes are normal operation according to BRP. Until the EPA gets involved this one is not likely going to get fixed.

Is crazy but BRP is saying the reason this is happening is because we are riding under 5rpm at all times, is not the machine is us that we don't now when to change gears or ride the motorcycles at the correct RPM's.

I am looking into this and will have a retrofit for affected Spyders soon. The problem only exists on some 2013's and was not observed on any of the prototype test Spyders. Nor has it been an issue on any Spyder until recently.
The Sway bar on the 2013's should not need a limiting device because there is plenty of room for movement and sway bars are naturally self centering. There must be some variance between Spyders causing some to run the sway bar to one side.

The bike cannot be above 5000 rpm while sitting in traffic. It is BRP that does not know how to fix the problem, or more likely even have a way to experience and verify the problem. I invite them to Houston to find out.
