TORSION BAR or SHOCKS or SHOCK ADJUSTEMENT
Good morning folks,
I have recently noticed that my front end as a tendency of wanting to roll when cornering.
I have never had the shocks adjusted.
So the question of the day, do I have the shocks firmness adjusted,
OR
Switch to a BajaRon torsion bar
OR
Go for new shocks.
Limited means, therefore one choice only.
Thanks
Dom

Dom,
What year bike are we discussing?
2010 to 2012: you can adjust the preload on the front shocks.
Newer bikes don't come equipped for that action, but BajaRon can set you up with some pre-load adjusters for your bike.
If it comes down to a new Anti-Swaybar, or new shocks: try the bar first... quite simply: it's the cheapest option.

What you ryde...
The shock relocators were for models through 2012 as are adjustable front shocks. You should start with a laser alignment and then go for the BajaRon sway bar. After ryding a bit to get the new feel of things move on to the adjuster if needed or better shocks... watch your tire pressure...

I just put the BajaRon Sway bar on my 2015 RT Limited this past Friday, and took it for a 100 mile test ride and I can tell you that it took 90% of the roll out both 1up and 2up. No need to do anything to the shocks in my opinion

Check tire pressures first- free.
Shocks and sway bar? See BajaRon for bofems. Rides like a champ ever since!
1. Check fluids & tire pressures.
2. Start bike.
3. Hold on.
4. Full throttle.
5. Repeat 3-5.
