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.

I'll be watching this closely. I have a 2014 RT and is stock form it's a whole lot better than my 2011 was.
I added the Baja Ron sway bar to the 2011 and it cornered like it was on rails.
My 2014 doesn't stay as flat as the 2011 with the added sway bar so I'm curious to hear what everyone has to say.
I won't change the shocks, just the sway bar if I do anything.

You will feel less body roll in corners, flatter turns with more authority, it just tracks better as to where you're pointing it. And if you're crazy enough, you'll feel your front tires "roll" occasionally...:yikes:
(My wife says that to me, and I have the back of shoulder bruises to prove it!)

The sway bar fixed two things for me:
1) when an oncoming bus or semi goes by you, I am no longer pushed around on the road by the wind. Thats not to say I don't feel the air turbulance, just that the bike no longer moves around because of it.
2) Before the bar, when i took corners, mostly long sweeping corners on the freeway, the bike would "rock" (?) sideways part way through the corner, and I would lose the line I was riding. This no longer happens. Cornering is easy and controlled.

Based on the recommendation of about a hundred owners here.......I have ordered one and now have it in hand.
IF....I get it put on and it does not make a significant difference in the ride stability feel, I figure that each of you hundred people owe me about $2.30 for your share of a bad recommendation !!!! :roflblack:

+1 on the anti-sway bar
Brendal,
The anti-sway bar addition to my :spyder2: made a noticeable difference in handling ( like many hundreds here ) in turning and stability. I also added spring stiffeners. Time after time ryders here have added a better than OEM anti-sway bar and are very pleased with it. To me it was money WELL spent.
