    Default Do I need an alignment after installing a new Sway Bar? 2022 RTL

    I just purchased a BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar. I do not have it yet. After installation, do I have to align the bike?

    Did my sway bar today, need my spine aligned.

    Getting old sucks.

    Crawling around on the ground sucks.

    Laying on the ground sucks.

    Kneeling on the bolt your looking for REALLY SUCKS.

    I resemble that!




    And HOW ON EARTH do you always get AT LEAST one bolt that ends up under your knee just when you have no choice but to put all your weight on it??

    Still, it's not really the 'Growing Old' bit that I object to.... it's the 'getting decrepit' part that really grinds my gears!

    I will say on here that "YES" it makes a difference. Especially when you go around curves, get in cross winds, passing or being passed by tractor trailers or in any other situation that you get into. JMHO


    I also strongly agree with everything that you posted about getting old.

    About 2 hours.

    Would have been closer to an hour but I spent time rolling around on the ground holding my knee and crying like a little B****.

    I'm feeling a little Dejavu after reading this. This happens to me all the time. I'm always laying on parts or tools when I need them.

    Lol I know the feeling. I made it through the sway bar install without issues. But man...the oil change. I think I cracked a rib laying on my side on the garage floor! Not kidding!
