Raising the front end for sway bar Remove & Refit - how exactly?

Peter, “but what about the new bar” was indeed the comment. That can be interpreted many ways. You have chosen to interpret it as Chunk buying a brand new, 3 piece bar. I have not interpreted it one way or the other He may simply be referring to the “new” bar he is putting in. It does not mean it is a 1 piece or 3 piece bar. :thumbup: My comment was simply a bit of humour IF someone was using a one piece bar…….and it has been blown out of all proportion

I just got the new 3 piece bar.
This thread has convinced me to cut the old one off at both ends before loosening any bolts so it stays put.
I am going to try my Sawzall first. If there is excess shaking, then the angle grinder.

Then slide it out thru the wheel spokes, like Ron's instructions say to install the new straight bar.

I have both tools..... Years ago I discovered " Diablo " brand cutting disc's ( Home Depot sells them ) they are only 1mm thick and cut thru metal like a hot knife thru butter. I found that NOT using much pressure works best, ... yes you need some clearance to use but I think it's very doable ...... Mike :thumbup:

Cheeseologist - I absolutely appreciate that offer! it's a 6+hour trip in each direction. If I had enough moto to make that trip, I would. There have been a few really good suggestions here about how to get this installed; it doesn't seem difficult - it's just a matter of planning it. I'm pretty sure I'll get it worked out. Thank you very much for the offer, though! We need more of this in the community!

I am just a stones throw away from you Chunk in Frederick, We can use my truck and my ramps and I will show you how to do it. 1 piece or 3 piece.
If you have all of the tools and truck and ramps I can come to you. If not you can bring it here and we can take it up Hamburg to Gambrill park road up to 77 at Cunningham falls to test it out on the twisties on the mountain when we are done.:riding:

Just PM me if you want to take me up on the offer.
