    The Ryker bar kit (including the end links) is $279.00 delivered. The end links make a surprising amount of difference in the function of this bar kit. They do on all the bar kits. But more so on this particular one. I think it is because the arms are billet aluminum instead of spring steel on the kits for the other models.

    Anyone interested in more information (not a sales pitch) is more than welcome to contact me about any product I carry.

    I was curious about the same thing. I was thinking of adding them to my stock Rally sway bar but I am hesitant because I'm not sure if there are any benefits.

    I put the BajaRon Links (Only) on my Ryker and me and many others appear to say they do a much better job because they are longer than the other model links and taking away the flex helps a lot. I feel no need for the bar and I live to corner fast backroads. The Bar would give you added performance But for this 71 year old it wasn't worth the hassel of installation.

    Yes, the end links I have for the Ryker work perfectly with the stock bar. And they do make a difference. But I do want to be sure people understand that though the stock BRP upgrade bar kit install is an extremely difficult, time consuming and frustrating process. The BajaRon bar kit for the Ryker is quite easy to install and takes most people about 1 hour. The worst part of this install has to to with the 4 nuts/bolts that secure the bushing blocks. 2 of the 4 bolts are in a bit of a tight spot. But with tools that most of us have, they are not all that hard to deal with. The rest of the install is pretty straight forward.

    If anyone has any questions about this kit or anything else I carry. Let me know. Glad to help, explain or clear up whatever questions you might have.

    Thanks
    My plan is to upgrade with just the links this coming year and eventually move up to your sway bar. I've spent too many years turning a wrench rebuilding engines, transmissions and such. Now I prefer to find the easier routes and I'm all about finding ways not to spend my days off on my knees or laying on my back.
    Your sway bar makes sense anyway I look at it.

    Baja Ron makes a fantastic kit. I installed it last September for my fiance and we both agree that it removed the swaying/wobble when going in a straight line and when it's windy. Feels a lot more stable. Instructions were easy to follow and I would say it's the best mod we have installed.

    How important are the reinforced end links versus the stock OEM? I have your Sway Bar with OEM end links--hasn't been any problem so far--7000 mi later. Has anyone broken the OEM sway Bar end links?

    Not on a Ryker, but I had 2 end-link failures on my RT fairly early in the piece (with the stock bar!) The first one just snapped after about 2000km & the 'then local' dealer (since folded!) wouldn't even consider it as a warranty issue; it's temporary replacement warped & twisted like a piece of limp spaghetti from its first fitting, but I was just waiting for the arrival of Ron's upgraded sway bar & the end-links by then.

    I would recommend getting the end links over the bar. The end links "stock" on the RSS are plastic, and the ones I removed were twisted and distorted. I dont know if they would have broke, but they were deforming for sure, and the ride SIGNIFICANTLY changed when I added just the end links. I eventaully added the bar too, I dont take chances on sway bars and stabilizers. You got what you pay for on these items thats for sure.

    I am surprised you got that bar kit without links. You must have gotten it early on. I did sell a few without link sets in the beginning. But then when we started braking OEM links I changed that. Now links are required. My F3/ST/RS/RSS bar kit is heavier duty than the OEM BRP bar which comes on the RT (which is heavier than the stock F3 bar kit). I do not know what the stress tolerance for the OEM links are. But my F3 bar kit did exceed at least a few plastic OEM links.

    I'd say that adding Elka's to your suspension is helping to control some lean and keeps the bar from doing as much work as it might with the stock shocks. Or, you may have just gotten an exceptionally good set of OEM links. Or, you don't ride hard enough to stress the suspension. I can tell you that the stock links stretch and compress a bit when stressed regardless of what bar you are using. The more the stress, the more the effect. This reduces, somewhat, the effectiveness of the sway bar as the links absorb some of the energy transfer the bar is attempting to accomplish. That is why some just buy the links to use with the stock bar kit. Many end up liking what the links do, want more of the same and come back and get the bar kit. If you already have the links. I will sell the bar kit without my link set.

    I would recommend putting my link set on if for nothing more than the safety factor. On the other hand, you've made it this far. Have you inspected your links to see how they are doing?

    If you would like to add the links let me know. I'll give you a break on them since you already have the bar installed. If nothing else, it would make me fell better.
