First off I chose the old style bar as I don't ride that aggressively and the guys at Bajaron told me the new bar would add some degree of stiffness to the ride. I didn't want that so I opted for the old style bar. Like many others here I was somewhat pessimistic as to what this bar would do for my Spyder. I have read that the '20's, '21's, & '22's handle better than the 2019's and older, and that this bar was not all that necessary. One poster even stated he was going to uninstall the Bajaron sway bar. But I decided to give it a try anyway. Mainly to reduce body roll.
I can tell you that for me the results were felt immediately and are significant. I just cannot tell you how much better it handles now (well I guess I just did). The body roll is virtually eliminated. I am very, very happy with my results.
I used the car ramp method to accomplish most of the work and only jacked it up using a floor jack to pull the old bar out and put the new bar in. The entire process took me about 2 hours from start to finish. It is a very easy install if you can get up and down off the floor. Using a lift would of course make the whole job much easier and quicker.
I think this bar is worth every penny I spent on it. The results are fantastic! My hat is off to Bajaron for developing such a great product!
On a side note, I had read on here where one member talked about how his Spyder did not lean at all when he stepped up on the floorboard to get on the bike. This sounded like nonsense to me as it seems like this would be a function of the springs only. I can tell you this will be the first thing you notice. The Spyder does not drop down at all when you step up on the floorboard. It is the craziest thing!
If you are on the fence as I was just go ahead and buy/install this thing. It really does make a huge difference to the ride of your Spyder. To my 2022 RT Limited anyway.
