There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The BajaRon swaybar is thicker than stock, so better handling. Plus, BRP uses plastic links, BajaRon’s come w metal links. One of the best aftermarket parts I’ve put on my Spyder, you notice the difference immediately. Hope that helped.

exactly what my neighbor did. Rode mine, then said “wow, I’m getting this next”.
I just installed my sway bar about a month ago on my 2012 RT Limited..nite and day!! I would say waaayyy better handling and a lot less effort in turns = better safety..your not using as much effort on rides or trips therefore arriving more relaxed and not spent! Less jumpy too = safety! I highly recommend the swap!! :thumbup:

RT sway bars on a F3?
I have been told to use a sway bar off of a RT on my F3 limited and it would help handling, is this a god way to improve handling on the F3, or order a sway bar? They tell me the RT sway bar is larger and stronger than the ones that come on F3's! Your response will be appreciated!

It is true that a Take-Off RT bar will give you a noticeable improvement in handling of an F3. An RT Bar will give you about 1/2 the improvement a BajaRon bar will afford.
A Sway Bar is essentially a Spring. You can have 2 springs with the same diameter wire that are not only greatly different in strength. But also in their ability to retain their original tension over time and usage.
People make the mistake of comparing only sway bar diameter to determine what kind of improvement they might get. But diameter is only 1 component of the equation. There are actually 3 separate things that go into the overall effect of any sway bar.
1- Bar Diameter
2- Steel Metalurgy
3- Arm Length
With a sway bar as short and small as the one on the Spyder. The overall effect can be changed a great deal by a very small change in any one of these parameters.
Comparing diameter only is only valid if the other 2 components are identical. When comparing the BajaRon bars to OEM, this is not the case.

Had it installed at the Deadwood Rally. Also had it aligned by Squared Away. The biggest thing for me is on the interstate. I still get buffeted in the slipstream of large vehicles, but the Spyder tracks true. Also rides like it’s on rails in the corners.

I was a doubting Thomas for years on the infamous Baja Ron sway bar.. I had one installed on my new 2018 RT Limited and have seen a remarkable difference in handling on the curvy roads we all love to ride. I've been in the Black Hills of SD and just returned from the Ozarks and the sway bar make a lot of difference..

Sway
Netzley Tire installed my BajaRon stuff, they showed me my stock RT sway to compare to BajaRon’s. Big, noticeable difference in thickness. And Can Am uses plastic links (can’t figure out that decision), BajaRon’s Sway comes w much better links, not plastic.
Netzley also did a Laser Alignment for me, that too made a difference. Next step for me is putting on car tires.
‘If you get the Shock Adjusters, you will immediately notice your front end is higher. And you know how sometimes the nose dives down when u hit the breaks? That’s gone w BajaRon’s Shock Adjusters.
I had Netzley install everything, I prefer this type of product be installed by someone with experience, they’ve done a ton of them and I’m not a mechanic.
Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll be happy.

I have a 2018 RTL sway bar
If you want it you can have it. You would just need to get it shipped.
