Installed Baja Ron sway bar

[jpcoder]

I installed Baja Ron's sway bar on my 2015 RT Ltd yesterday and was surprised by how easy it was to do. Was only able to take a short ride around the neighbor hood, but the improved handling was evident. Going for a longer ride this weekend on some twisties, should be fun!

I got mine a couple of weeks ago but haven't had a chance to do the install yet. I'm anxious to get it done and try it out! Glad to hear it was easy!

Good Deal. Just curious, how much time was needed to do the install? Any Good TIPS? :thumbup:

Congrats....

The only problem is the later models having to get up so high to make the change. You will be happy with the change...:2thumbs: well done...!!

Installing the BR Bar with standard lift

I had some scrap 2x4's and small bit of scrap OSB, made a lift platform to fit on top of my HF/NT ATV lift. Jacked the bike up first without the platform and set the bike on jack stands, lowered the lift, added the platform, loosened what bolts I could while the Spyder was on jack stands, then lifted the bike with the platform until I could swing out the old and swap in the BR Bar. Lowered it back to the jack stands and tightened all the bolts. Easy Peasy.

It took about 2 hours to do the install. I have a motorcycle lift from Harbor tools and it will go high enough to remove/install the sway bar. Be careful at that height, I almost knocked it off the lift. I did place the lift more forward so that the rear tire stayed on the ground, and of course I put a chock behind it. I must be slow, but it took me a while to figure out that its the curved mesh pieces in the wheel wells that need to be removed, not the smaller ones straight up from the water deflectors. I used ordinary tools, nothing special and had no issues accessing any of the bolts.

I just wanted to add that the height you have to lift the bike is scary. I rigged up a safety of sorts with ropes tied to the ceiling and still I nearly **** my pants gently reaching under and threading the old bar out and the new bar in. But the reach in takes about 2 minutes and then you can lower the bike down to a much more reasonable level ...

You'll be happy with the improvement. It appears you performed the task in the allowable average time to complete the task. GOOD JOB!

I actually bought tall wheel stands that I used, blitzkreig. It made the Spyder very stable and I felt quite safe......I’ll probably never use them again, except for installing Ron’s Bar on any new Spyder I get, but they were pretty cheap.

Quick Questions: How tall were t your wheel stands? Where did you get them? Where did you place them when lifting the bike?
