Installed mine today with the Helm joints In Front of the bar and it seemed to fit well (As Per the directions) - I positioned the collars by lining up the old bar collars with new and it really helped not to have to tighten them laying under the Spyder.

Question??? On my 09 GS the bar is outside the helm joint OR the helm joints are inside the bar:roflblack:.

Why does the Fische for both the 09 and 2012 show the helm joint inside or behind the bar????:dontknow:

SEE ABOVE!

Got mine, it is installed and it works great, best part is that i got it installed and the Missus has no clue that i spent money on it because she can't see it

You and I must have gone to different High Schools together!n :thumbup: :roflblack:
I'd be ashamed of having done the same thing up here, except I'm kind of happy that I was able to pull it off! pps::thumbup:

The OEM RS, GS, RS-S sway bar mounts outside of the Heim link joints. The RT models OEM sway bar mounts inside of the Heim link joints. BRP simply shows the same RS model fiche diagram for both, though it isn't accurate for the RT versions.

Test Drive Done...

Wow! Did about 100 smiles today with Coz and SporterSpider, and what a difference... There is one spot, that I travel frequently, that the ROAD leans Right as it curves Left... Needless to say the Spyder "Roll" on that section had a high pucker factor... Today; It was like it was on rails. Smooth, precise. It was great!

Thanks again Ron!

Harry,
Believe me; I know exactly what you're talking about! pps:
Bolts stripped, busted, cross-threaded, LOST!
Parts stepped on, buggered up, mounted wrong, LOST!
And then there's been all of the blood and skin that I've stripped off... :shocked:
But this installation is pretty darn easy...
It took me as long as it did only because of my diabetic neuropathy and poor eyesight...
I couldn't hang onto the tools or parts... and then I couldn't see where to put them!
But if I can manage it; so can you! :thumbup: nojoke

Bob you are either one, being modest regarding your mechanical ability or two, have no idea what it's like to not be mechanically inclined at all. Probably some combination of the two! My mechanical ineptitude sounds a lot like Harry's. No way I'm doin it. Gettin it done at Lamont's barbeque. Truthfully though the sway doesn't bother me much but in terms of safety I'm thinking more stable is better than less stable!

This sway bar project has been one of the most interesting I've ever experienced. I have been getting quite a few emails & PM's lately saying things like; 'I think my RT handles just fine and I really don't feel I need an upgraded sway bar... BUT! Because of all the positive feedback on Spyderlover's I just can't resist finding out what I may be missing.'

So far, without exception, I get another email after their bar is installed saying something like; 'I can't believe how much difference this little steel bar makes. I could feel the difference on the 1st turn I made. I love the improvement and I would never go back.'

I don't have to say a thing. All of you are much more convincing than anything I might say about the bar. Thank you all for your great support! The Spyder is a great machine.... Enjoy! :thumbup:

Joe...You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself being so underhanded!:roflblack:
You'd better hope that your wife never reads these pages!! :thumbup:

Bob taught me, blame him
