• 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.

Bajaron Sway Bar

I am not an experience 2 wheels or 3 wheels rider, lol. I purchased my 2011 Spyder RT Limited last few months ago, and put approximately 300 miles on it. For that period of time, I was not really feeling the ride stable, ie. felt mushy and very "white knuckles on the semi tight turns. I read the forum, and what an upgraded sway bar will do for me. I had Power Coleman in Woodbridge, VA installed the new Bajaron swaybar. It took the tech approximately 1.45 minutes. The tech test rode the Spyder and felt a difference on the ride. The bike was much better on turns but he thought that on really tight turns, he thought the front wheel will raise on a tight curve. (I believe the feeling was on a really aggressive turn) Other than that, he liked the swaybar. Well I rode the bike, and felt the ride much nicer. I am not a aggressive driver and took some tight curves at the speed limit or a few mph more and Nanny did not bother me. I even felt much safer when I hit 70 mph on the highway. I agree with everyone in this forum, installing a Bajaron sway bar, is the best upgrade addition you can do to your Spyder. Thank you Ron and the members of this forum.

You can also set the spring preload on your front shocks higher to help with cornering. We run ours at the #4 position, one down from the highest. Leaning into the turns also helps a great deal in the tight turns. Baja Ron has many great things for the Spyder, the swaybar is one of the best.
 
It does take a little riding to get acquainted with the BajaRon sway bar. It may have felt to the tech that the inside wheel would lift easier. But exactly the opposite is true. It is much harder to get the inside wheel to lift with the sway bar installed. The Nanny is more content and less intrusive for the same reason that the inside wheel stays put. Because the Spyder is much more stable with the sway bar installed.

Really glad you like it. Selling stuff that you make is rewarding. But having satisfied customers is really what it is all about.

Enjoy! :ohyea:
 
I also found my 2014 RT limited "wandered" on long sweeping turns... was un-nerving... so I installed BahaRon's sway bar... made my spyder take the same turns easier... kudos to BahaRon..

I thought the same way you stated Ron about the lifting of the wheel. It may have "felt" the tech the inside wheel lifting versus "really" happening. Also I like how quick I can move from one lane to the next lane in comparison to the stock sway bar.

I do agree 100% that a Bajaron sway bar should be your first upgrade if you are having trouble turning in the curves.

Thanks.
