Larry's Photo set ref Fitting Bajaron's Swaybar to an RT
I contacted Larry via PM with the following request Ref getting copies of his pictures to assist me
Although I could view his pictures In photobucket I could not copy them and save them
What I wanted to do was print them off - Place them in clear plastic folders so I could follow them step by step
They are as good as any Workshop manual I've seen
I asked if he could e mail me a copy of the set of pictures or create an Album with these pictures on the SpyderLovers Album gallery website so I could save them to my Computer for future use when my Swaybar arrives
Larry was kind enough to place the set of Photos in the Album Gallery
Here is the spyderlovers album
http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/a...p?albumid=2506
I now have a set ready to use and this will give me the confidence to tackle the job
Thanks Larry and Bajaron

Has anyone had an opportunity to compare Ron's anti-sway bar with the Evoluzione anti-sway bar that was sold for a time shortly after the RT was introduced, and as far as I know is no longer produced? I have the Evoluzione bar and Works Performance shocks on my 2010 RT and have the impression that this resulted in a major improvement in handling over stock. But, since they were installed at the same time I do not know how much of the improvement is due to the bar and how much to the shocks. Perhaps the new bar would result in even more improvement. I wonder how the stiffness of the two bars compares.
Thanks if anyone has any experience with the two, or any info on diameter, stiffness, etc.

"Yes... here's a couple of hints.... BajaRon's new swaybar is exactly the same shape as the BRP oem bar, but it is a much larger diameter and therefore a much stiffer bar. By comparison, the Evolucione bar used on some earlier RTs was exactly the same diameter as oem but moved the connection holes at the end of the bar in an attempt to achieve a stiffer bar. If I had an Evo bar installed on an RT I would replace it immediately with Ron's new bar! Been there, Done That!"
but, if you live in the flatlands or hardly ever ride the twisties, you may never notice the difference. The new bar will be more noticeable in very aggressive riding.

Swaybar
Is it recommended that the front end be realigned after installing the sway bar?

Not necessary. You don't need to adjust or align anything.

Thanks Ron. I'll take a look at my bar as soon as I can and will very likely be a customer before our riding season starts next spring.

Well, here it is! I have elka shocks set to 22 clicks. I installed the bar and finally today I had a chance for a ride!!! WOW!!! The difference is dramatic. The first corner seemed to be much quicker and flatter on turn in. This will absolutely prove to be the best $200 I ever spent. I imagine the difference would be even more dramatic with oem shocks! I'm very glad we waited for all the R&D! Thanks ron!!!

The one I have on our RT is exactly the same shape as the one that came off, just a larger diameter.
Maybe they made 2 diff. versions?
My wife believes it was the best improvement we made.

Ron: You just need to add a caveat on the sticker, "If you can read this, turn me over." Old 4WD bumper snicker.
