• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2018 RT Limited Handing With Stock Sway Bar??

When we bought our Spyder in 2016 it came with lots of upgrades from the former owner. Some I really liked some not so much. It had elka stage 2 shocks on the front and not knowing any different I really liked the way it rode and drove. Last spring they started to leak so I got them rebuilt. wanting to ride I put the stock shocks on they were brand new never been on the bike. Wow what a different ride and handling. If they had been on the bike when we took it for a test drive I probable would not have bought it. It really scared me. The steering was lousy it would dip and dive while braking and cornering. With Grace on back it was even worse and she said she noticed the difference as well. I cannot speak for the BajaRon Swaybar maybe it has one but I don't know for sure but I do know the Elka shocks make it really nice to drive and a feeling of confidence when riding. I am not an aggresive drive I might do somethings once finding out what the spyder can do or what I can do and feel comfortable. I like to drive 60 mph or a little better. I don't like to be in a rush or speed to much because I like to be on the bike the faster I go the sooner the fun is over.
 
As with oil, this debate shows no signs of abating. My opinion is understandably tainted since I design and sell the BajaRon sway bar kits. People have strong opinions on both sides. Even those who have never tried one of my bar kits. Not a problem. It's all just part of the experience.

My quest is to give out as much honest information as I can. An informed customer is always in both our best interests.

Here is just one thread on this subject which not only got very interesting. It pretty much covers the gambit of responses I've gotten over the years. For those on the fence, it may prove good reading. If you want to condense your reading, skip to the posts from Road Kill and myself.

Though I always appreciate feedback. Customer's opinions are always freely given. I certainly do not coerce anyone. And though I always encourage private feedback, I never request or pressure anyone to post public feedback on my products. An honest opinion, good or bad, is very important to me.

I havent changed my sway bar...but...I upgraded the front and rear shocks (fox 1.5 front and Fox 2.0 RC Rear) and did a laser alignment. I`m going to get the swaybar and see if theres an improvement on top of what I already have...which is pretty good as it is right now...completing my suspension.
