    Default Baja Ron Sway Bar - Misplaced Spacer - any ideas for short term replacements?

    Morning everyone,

    I finally got around to installing my new sway bar. All went well up to the point where I lost/misplaced one of the aluminum spacers.

    Does anyone have a creative solution to address this without having to wait for a new spacer (assuming I can obtain one)?

    I have an email into Baja Ron as well to see how I can obtain a replacement, but looking for alternatives in the mean time.

    2019 F3T and located in Ontario, Canada.

    Let me look and see if I have an extra laying around OR take one down to the hardware store and see if they have one.

    Have you tried calling Ron?

    I imagine you could duplicate the spacer with a series of washers. You'll need a few small ones to fit right against the link and then one or two larger ones to fit against the bolt head.

    Just a thought, I could be wrong.

    On the other hand, Ron is very excellent, I'm sure he could get you the spacer pretty quick as soon as he sees your email.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    Just an update…Ron and company have been awesome in getting me a replacement. Great service!

    As as side note, I was able to figure out a temporary work around thanks to my local hardware store. I installed a 1/4” brass compression sleeve and it seems to work while waiting on the proper part. It’s a bit wider than the proper part, but it seems to be working. Cost me $0.35.

    Took the bike for a test ride. Wow what a difference!
