Its official: BajaRon's swaybar is a MUST have for all RT owners!

I realized the writing is upside down. With it mounted the other way, the decal doesn't show at all. I looked at it carefully and saw no difference. It seemed to not have any bends that would preclude putting it on "upside down".

There isn't any 'Right Side Up' on the bar. It is symetrical and can be mounted either way.

I realize that the decal will either be upside down, or not visible when mounted. Maybe I should attach them differently. But really, very few people are going to crawl up under a Spyder to see that sticker.

Nice sticker though. A shame to hide it away. I get these from Pete Ameno at PowerSportsWraps (a sponser here at Spyderlovers). Very high quality products and highly recommended for anything graphic that you want to stick to something. They are tough and don't fade like most. I really like that.

I suspect you would not want to send the stickers out Separately as its a safeguard against someone copying your product and just sticking the sticker on - Fully agree with that

Perhaps you could supply a 2nd sticker for owners to keep - I place any stickers for items iv'e fitted to my Spyder in my service record along with the date and mileage at the time it was fitted, this just gives a complete history of when items were added and the mileage at any various dates

I will be ordering one of your Swaybars for my RT because of the good reports and knowing not only all your
R & D that's gone into it but I have already have a set of your HT Leads and Plugs for my Spyder RT-S SE5 2010 Model which are excellent and have been in use since Jan 2012 mileage was 4,480 when these were fitted my Spyder is now approaching 10,000 miles

I live in the UK so my order will be via an international carrier
The only problem with ordering at this time of year - (Run up to Christmas and the New Year break) esp with International mail - Items suffering from long delays at Customs etc and some go missing altogether

Would it be possible to place an order now for one to be shipped to the UK in early Jan 2013 and if so
How do I reserve one and do you require part payment to ensure one can be held for me or could you hold one for me and Invoice me in early Jan and once payment received you will then send it out

Thanks

I just finished the installation of my Baja Ron anti sway bar on my 2012 RT. As others have said, it took about an hour. The instructions with the bar and info/photos on this site make it a very easy project. The frunk was loosened but not removed as suggested.

After a short (30 mile) ride on the local twisty roads after the installation, I could tell that there was a noticeable improvement over my previous handling. I have Elka Stage 1R+ on the front.

In my opinion, the bar swap-out is a very nice change for a reasonable price. I believe most people should notice improved handling. Less leaning, a more stable front end, and better planted to the ground. Which equals more fun to me.

Thanks Ron.

What's next from your bag of tricks? I'm pretty sure I will want it too.

Here are a couple of comparison pictures of the BajaRon bar and stock.

[spyderpoop]

[eddieshep999]

This is the RS sway bar. The RT bar is very similar. The Sway Bar is not a shock, it's a straight spring or torsion bar. Doesn't look like much does it. But this little bar can do great things for your Spyder.

You don't have to tear your Spyder down like this to install the Sway Bar.

As stated by eddieshep999, you can always click on my banner ad on the Home Page here at Spyderlovers to get more information.

To purchase anything I carry simply PM me or email me at [email protected] Most make payment with Paypal but you can also mail payment. I can email you an invoice for Paypal which makes it very quick and easy. Either way works fine.

Great minds must think alike... I'm running the EXACT same setup! :thumbup:

 

[bmwlarry]

I am going to get a set of stickers made to place on the leading rt and left edges of my RT.

If you do; please let us all know when they're available! :thumbup:

Larry's Photo set ref Fitting Bajaron's Swaybar to an RT

I contacted Larry via PM with the following request Ref getting copies of his pictures to assist me

Although I could view his pictures In photobucket I could not copy them and save them
What I wanted to do was print them off - Place them in clear plastic folders so I could follow them step by step
They are as good as any Workshop manual I've seen

I asked if he could e mail me a copy of the set of pictures or create an Album with these pictures on the SpyderLovers Album gallery website so I could save them to my Computer for future use when my Swaybar arrives

Larry was kind enough to place the set of Photos in the Album Gallery

Here is the spyderlovers album
http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/a...p?albumid=2506

I now have a set ready to use and this will give me the confidence to tackle the job

Thanks Larry and Bajaron

Has anyone had an opportunity to compare Ron's anti-sway bar with the Evoluzione anti-sway bar that was sold for a time shortly after the RT was introduced, and as far as I know is no longer produced? I have the Evoluzione bar and Works Performance shocks on my 2010 RT and have the impression that this resulted in a major improvement in handling over stock. But, since they were installed at the same time I do not know how much of the improvement is due to the bar and how much to the shocks. Perhaps the new bar would result in even more improvement. I wonder how the stiffness of the two bars compares.

Thanks if anyone has any experience with the two, or any info on diameter, stiffness, etc.

"Yes... here's a couple of hints.... BajaRon's new swaybar is exactly the same shape as the BRP oem bar, but it is a much larger diameter and therefore a much stiffer bar. By comparison, the Evolucione bar used on some earlier RTs was exactly the same diameter as oem but moved the connection holes at the end of the bar in an attempt to achieve a stiffer bar. If I had an Evo bar installed on an RT I would replace it immediately with Ron's new bar! Been there, Done That!"

but, if you live in the flatlands or hardly ever ride the twisties, you may never notice the difference. The new bar will be more noticeable in very aggressive riding.

Swaybar

Is it recommended that the front end be realigned after installing the sway bar?

Not necessary. You don't need to adjust or align anything.
