    I see several people rave about the BAJARON sway bar but curious if just the satisfied ones are the outspoken group. Voting is anonymous. Otherwise feel free to comment what u like/dislike about it

    I voted "love it on my ST" to test the poll but I do not have one

    I haven't really heard anything negative about it either. Really curious to see if there's other opinions

    I can't speak to ST or RT; for 12 RS, I found BAJARON swaybar along with laser alignment as significant killer improvements for handling. I rode for 1.5 years before either mod & I easily noticed positive changes.

    Hi lkin,
    Any thoughts on laser alignment or did you do it? I did swaybar then laser alignment, indivudally mods I could tell but with combination - whole is greater than sum...

    it's the same bar as the st from what I understand, so it didn't take any time to get it out there!

    Thumbs up

    Ron's sway bar and JT's air box.

    Best two mods I've done on my bike IMO.

    Made a great improvement to my 2014 RT.....instantly noticeable when installed mid way through a twisty road trip.

    I had mine installed for $296.95, plus the cost of the bar, so I have to love it for that kind of $$

    Default swaybar instalation

    How big a job is it to install this swaybar? Looks to me like you need to remove a lot of stuff off my 2014 rt-s. $295 plus $3oo for the bar is quit pricey . Have any of you boys done this yourself? How long did it take you ?

    Many have installed it themselves. Sounds like a few hours and from what I have seen gaining access and lifting the bike high enough of the ground is the tough part. Evidently it needs to be 24"off the ground to allow sufficient space the remove and replace the bar

    Default Buyer Beware!

    I have been very hesitant on telling this story but saw the thread and thought i would share. I drove my 2008 #115 RS from Buffalo NY to spyderfest 2013. I wanted to get a a Bajaron swaybar. Pitbull had no more RS swaybars but the lady from there said she had an RT swaybar on hers and had no problems and an RT will fit on an RS. So i had the RT one put on. Well on our ride home it was very windy and i was riding behind a cemi truck. I went to pass the cemi and i got a huge gust of wind. The rear end of the spyder kicked out and i almost lost it. I rear end went from side to side but i was able to recover. I have driven all over the country and never had anything like this happen before. So i called bajaron. I didnt tell him my story at first. I started by just asking him the difference between the RS and RT swaybar and what could happen if i put an RT one on an RS. He said the RT one is stiffer for heavier machine. With it being stiifer it could make the rear end kick out. I said thats funny b/c thats what happened to me. I then proceeded to tell him the story. He was very nice and said and told me to call Pittbull to get an exchange. I called Pittbull and told them the story. They were reluctent but sent me an RS one after i sent them the RT one. I have not had any problems since but am very skidish driver now. I thought i would share. Has anyone ever heard of someones rear end kicking out?
