Any benefits from Elka Shocks after sway bar upgrade?

[Medicbiker]

I have a 2022 RTL and have already changed to Baja Ron sway bar. Unsure how much benefit I would get with upgrade to new shocks versus OEM. I installed in reverse order on my 2019 RTL and seemed to get good improvement from each one. Any thoughts from someone who has changed sway bar first and then added new shocks later, do you feel the benefit in terms of handling and comfort from the shocks warrants the hefty price tag?

I installed the BajaRon swaybar immediately after I purchased mine. I loved the “more positive” feeling it made especially in turns. After a couple years I “invested” in the stage 2 Elka shocks and I can tell you that I felt the improvement right away ..! It now goes into curves with a very confident feel to it. This is the (I.M.O.) the best handling experience you can achieve on this machine so I’m very glad I did it.

Did you noticed any harsher ride afterwards?

On my 2014 RT I did both. I did the Baja swaybar first and felt it needed more, then went to the Elka's. The ideal set up IMO, is the swaybar, then Elka's, combined with a good quality automotive tire up front. This will give you the best possible ride given the design limitations.
