Sway Bar install

[Nyparrothead]

Hi all,

Is there an installation video for the sway bar? Is the 22" clearance needed measured from the tires or the bottom of the bike. Also, I am guessing the skid plate has to be removed too

I printed out the instructions to do it & it stated that space is needed to get the new sway bar in. A floor jack & jack stands will work. Don't forget to block the back wheel & pad the top of the jack stands if you do it that way!! Good luck!

I used two motorcycle lifts. I made a pair of short ramps out of two by eights and just drove up on the lifts. Once the front tires were on the lifts, I jacked it up. The jacks will shift around some but it was up high enough that I could slide the old one and put the new one in. Took me about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Gotta say...

If you are going to do your own work it would be wise to invest in a lift. Makes everything much easier to do. Harbor Freight, Sears etc have them and not to expensive. One member simply put two planks on the tailgate of his truck and drove up half way blocked the rear wheel and made the job very easy. Ron can get you the instructions and they are detailed and easy to follow...:thumbup: here is one style lift.....

If you use this type lift you will need to put the extensions on it to get the required height. So you jack it up, put your jack stands in then pull the jack and add the extensions then jack it again.

Don't recommend Harbor Freight

I don't recommend the atv jack from harbor freight. Very unstable! If you value your :spyder2: investment, spend some money & get a good jack. If you're not working on suspension or wheels then a cheap alternative is car ramps & a floor jack with jack stands.

This is a Craftsman from sears and is much better for very little difference in price. But if I do heavy work I use A stands and block the rear tire....
