• 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.

Bajaron's sway bar billet end links.

I own a 2012 RT-S that has Bajaron's sway bar installed with the stock end links. Was wondering if the '12 had any problems with the stock end links breaking or cracking that would warrant replacing the stock links with the billet links?
 
Just to be on the safe side; I'd replace them. :shocked:
My reasoning: the stiffer Anti-SwayBar is putting more a load on the those plastic oem links... :yikes:
 
No issues with the stock 12' links. However, with the weight of the RT and the stiffer bar, I'd swap out the stock links if I rode an RT.
 
I'm sure the old links will work for ya but the new ones are not that much and very easy to change. And remember with links worst case if one breaks it doesn't break on a straight shot it breaks on a turn under load and if your not ready for that could be a bad scene.

So your saying worst case is I'll crash?....thanks...
Next time you get left behind the camery on the ride home!...[emoji12]
 
Thanks for all your replies!

Sounds like the consensus may be better safe than sorry. As the cost is not that great I guess I will consider replacing the stock links.
 
On the RSS. Do you need to remove Baja Ron's bar to remove factory links to install new links? After reading everyone's post I guess the smart thing to have done was to replace while I had everything down. RSS has less than 2500 miles and it is not ridden by an aggressive rider.

You don't need to remove anything to swap out the Heim Joint Links. Just lift the front of your Spyder enough to slide under it. Using 2 13mm wrenches (ratchet, open end, box end, they all work), take 1 bolt off the top link connection. 1 bolt off the bottom link connection. Replace with the new link, replace the 2 bolts and tighten. Do the same for the other side and that's it.

Oh! Forgot to say that you do need to let the jack down. Very important step! :rolleyes:
