    I should have written it like this.....

    There was no way I could have ridden that section with the stock sway bar as fast and aggressive as I did with the BajaRon bar.

    I updated my original post too.

    If you already have the BajaRon end links, you do not have to buy the entire kit. My purpose is not to sell as much product as I can. Just to have my product be as safe and productive as possible. Give me a call tomorrow and we'll get you fixed up. 423-552-3720. This is a personal and biased opinion. But I think you are going the right direction with wise steps. You have a much better chance of not only knowing more about what these suspension components do. But also being happy with the results.

    Whether or not to get the BajaRon bar, Elka's, etc., is the owners decision. The only thing I attempt to do is put out as much good information as I can so they have an informed decision.

    Rode our 2021 Sea to Sky from Colorado to Deadwood for the Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally and had the Baja Ron sway bar installed during the rally. We were two-up and fully loaded. The ride to the rally featured canyons in Colorado, interstate to Cheyenne WY, fast two-lane (highway 85) from Cheyenne to Newcastle, then more curves in the Black Hills to Deadwood. So we got a good feel for how the Spyder felt in a variety of conditions. Essentially the same route home.

    I generally agree with DanDanTmm's original statement that "I can tell a difference, but it wasn't what I call a significant difference." I have not done any "aggressive" riding so can't comment on his statement that "After riding that section of road pretty aggressively I have to change my original observation and say that it does made a significant difference with that type of riding." (although I hope that's true and hope to test it in the near future). What I noticed on our ride back from the rally was that the Spyder seemed to have less body roll and felt more planted going through the curves. My girlfriend on the back said she definitely noticed less body roll in the curves. For riding in the Colorado mountains where we live the Baja Ron sway bar was definitely a great upgrade!

    I have a 2021 RT Limited with 5,600 miles on it. I have replaced front tires with Vredestein Q5’s all around. I decided to replace sway bar today with Baja Ron’s set. Was easier on the 2021 RTL than my 2010 RT! About two hours, taking my time! Test drive was on a very windy day, so that effected the ride, but seemed to hold the riding line and cornering better! Will know more when weather gets better.

    I just installed the Baja Ron sway bar and tie rods on my 2021 RTL and notice a huge difference on my initial 6 mile test ride. I feel this is the best $ spent on this machine so far at 5300 miles. Easy 1 hour install and very good quality components. I was skeptical that it would make a difference but it definitely does.
    Now I can keep up with my husband on his Goldwing in the twisties.

    Heck, don't let him slow you down - no way a Goldwing can keep up with a Spyder in the twisties.
