• 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.

Sway bar arrived today, installed it (a three beer job). Now to wipe it down and get ready for a test ride tomorrow.

Thanks Bajaron.
 
My Baja Ron Sway Bar arrived about a week ago, but haven't had time to install it yet. Can't wait for the difference in cornering!:doorag:
 
Tomorrow..??

how can you wait..?? I would check it out right after snugging up the last nut..:roflblack: and knowing how good it is..without a doubt. Now you'll be like a kid before christmas...:roflblack:
 
Had mine installed earlier this week! The 500 miles since then have been a blast! Now I reach for the gas instead of the brake when I see a curve!

Before long you will think that the bar hasn't changed things at all! Nanny will still keep kicking in, and you will still be leaning toward the outside of the curve. Then WHAMO! You realize all these things you experienced before, and are experiencing again, are happening at something like 20% to 30% greater speed! :yes:
 
The dealer installed mine today and I noticed a HUGE difference a couples of miles into the ride. The Spyder tracked true and no centrifugal force pulling me to the outside of the turn was felt while negotiating the "Cloverleaf" exchange from one interstate to another. The bike also didnt wobble in the headwind and crosswinds either. Completely satisfied, THANKS BAJA RON!!!

Agree. How quickly we adjust. The new bar is great. Rides are definitely better.

Guess yours doing more for your Spyder, our 2014 still a little mushy in the turns, will have Spyderpops check it out soon as he returns from Bikeweek in Orlando.:banghead:

Installed mine last year you will still have to lean some but not as slow. It does work great.

Big difference

I put mine on the first of the week and was very impressed with the first test ride. Yesterday we took it out for 160 mile ride on Oregon back roads and it was a different handling spyder. Much smother cornering and stable feeling. Thank you Ron.
 
Hi copilot

Re: installed it (a three beer job).

Reminds me of a local guy back in the late '50's. He had a '32 Ford 3-window & wanted to replace the flathead with a Chevy V-8.

So he called up all of his friends to help out, bought a keg of beer and waited for Sat morning.

Guess what got taken care of and what did not get installed? :shocked:

You"ll like it!!

Installed my bar a few days ago---and with proper tire pressure--- the Spyder handles MUCH better.:thumbup:

For your consideration, think about the Fox shocks. These are offered by BRB and made a world of difference on my RT when combined with the Baha Ron sway bar. I think they are about $400.00 and worth every dollar of it in improved handling.
 
You're going to love it. Turned Cherohala Skyway, The Dragon, The Devil's Traingle, and similar roads a blast instead of a white-knuckler! (Although riding the Devils Triangle still gets the "nanny" a lot of exercise, but in a good way!).
 
How about tire wear

For those of you that had the sway bars for awhile, did you see any improvement in tire wear? My 1st set of front OEM tires gave me 22,000 miles. I have 12,000 on this pair - left side shows little wear across the entire tire. The right side shows a LOT of inside wear only. Regardless, sounds like I should invest in the sway bar. Is it a difficult job. Thx
 
My Sway Bar

I also received my Bajaron swaybar for my 2015 RTS. Waiting for a nice to have it installed. Instead of a dealer, I found a "mechanic in heart" that have the tools/lift to help me installed it on my new bike. I had a Bajaron sway bar on my old 2011 RT Limited and I did see the difference of ride. I expect the same results on my new Spyder.
