I have a swaybar off of my old '16 RT-S. I would like to install it on my '19 F3 LTD. I have Ron's end links installed already. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so, is there an improvement.

Thanks in advance,

I bought a 2015 F3S-SE from Len at Pitbull powersports they installed a RT swaybar. At the same time a friend of mine bought a identical F3 put a Ron bar on couldn't tell the difference we ran the same tires and shocks. Save the money put the RT bar on and enjoy.

I sold my OEM 2014 RT sway bar to a gentleman who installed it on his wife's F3.

I had the RT bar on my 2015 F3S. I than put the Ron bar on and noticed an improvement in handling. I than installed the RT bar onto my wife's F3L. When I traded my F3 in this spring I pulled the Ron bar off and had it installed on my 2020 RTL. Very noticeable improvement!
As long as you have the RT bar and blocks (RT bar is larger diameter) I would use it as it does help.

I put my 2015 RT swaybar on my 2018 F3L. Didn't notice much difference. So I put bajarons on and noticed a much bigger difference. Much stiffer handling.

Same here. Boxed up the oem RTS swaybar, pivot bearings for that diameter and sold it here in the For Sale section to an owner that installed it on their F3 something series.

I don't have the funds at the moment for a Baja Ron's bar but I DO have my RT-S one. I'll use what I have available for a while...

Thanks!

We've had/have 3 F3 models. We had an ST Ltd that had a BR torsion bar: yes, it does corner more flat, but in my opinion, induces more side-to-side head bobble if one wheel hits a bump. That''s why I've used RT torsion bars on all our F3 models. I also put together solid end links made from 5/16 Heim joints (sourced from Summit Racing). That said, we ride 1-up: the RT is still soft for 2-up riding.

Well, I installed my old RT swaybar on my F3 LTD and BOY, what a difference! Really glad I kept that bar!
