Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

[BajaRon]

Ron, I was just watching an installation video of your sway bar on a Ryker 900. This person removed the entire front end including the radiator/fan assembly for the install. If I read you right, the whole purpose of your 3-piece design was to eliminate having to remove all that and just cut, remove the old one and install your sway bar. Now, I'm interested in your bar but I'm not if I have to go through all that long process to get there. Please tell me how you would install the it.

Maybe I was inadvertently misleading with my explanation. You still have to temporarily relocate the radiator and other items. You can't just cut off the original bar and replace it with mine. You have to be able to access the bushings. Which is required no matter which way you go because they hold the bar itself. All these components come off or move out of the way relatively easily. The bolts holding the bushings are the most difficult step when installing my bar kit. The nuts on the back side are somewhat difficult to get to. But quite do-able. This is not the most difficult portion of the install when installing the BRP bar. That install is not for the weak of heart.

I know several customers who started the BRP bar kit install and they ended up putting everything back together and taking it to the dealer for the install.

What you avoid is the more difficult and serious removal of the lower A-Arm and other components. Plus, you don't scratch up the bar struggling to get it into the frame.

I am happy to send a copy of the install instructions to anyone interested. Just PM me here, or email me at [email protected]. If you PM me, I'll need an email address to send the instructions to.

Ron's bar is not that hard to install. I would say a 2 to 3 on 1 to 10 scale, and 10 being the most difficult.

I changed on my 900 (no Rally) from the red "stronger" BRP sway-bar to the BajaRon System .. much better feeling - would change it again (a lot of work) !!

We got a new "Rally" version (no stronger s-bar) to test for a weekend - the shocks where adjusted for 2up - horrible hard and total uncomfortable on the side of our 900 !! So I would say: with a stronger sway-bar you can adjust the front-shocks of the Rally to the softest position and still would have a stable front - that's it .. and you will love it !

My girl said - its impossible to make longer tours with this "2up Rally-Version" - (..we use longer shocks on the front of our 900)

Greetings and THX to Ron from the Austrian Alps !!
