From reading all the comments on raising the scoots high enough to safely
remove/install the bar, I have a novel thought. Why not have a 2 piece splined
or ratchet/socket type joint in the middle of the bar? Keeping the bar centrally
located should be simple to do. A good side benefit would be all the nuts, bolts,
screws and spacers would not have to be touched.
Just an idle thought on my part.

Just reread my post and I missed the boat entirely on this one. Put it
down to a brain fart/old age. Cutting off one end of the factory bar would be
a requirement in order to remove the old bar. Of course getting a good sway
bar to start with would be even better.

Exactly what I was thinking as I read your first post. Not to mention a great deal more machining (higher cost). Then you would certainly get wear in the splines creating additional issues down the road. It's the WD-40 rule. Thinking outside the box is how we get all of these wonderful advances in our products. But for every good idea, there are at least 40 that don't work.

You're on the right track! Keep thinking and something will click! :thumbup:
