Install height for 2013 ST sway bar. :-)

[rabtech]

This is the exact height the front has to be for the bar to twist out!!!

How indecent! It should really put some clothes on.

BTW, I'm guessing that with the ST design you really have to remove the frunk to put the swaybar on, eh? (On the RS, I was able to "bump out" the sway bar without removing my frunk).

You could do it without removing the frunk. It was sooooooo easy to remove the frunk that I did it.

Is it a requirement to have a lift and neat garage?

And for the 2013 RT 3 large patio pavers on top of the motorcycle jack which is about 9 inches extra.

That would work if you could figure out how to glue together the new one. The new one is just as long as the old one.

How about it Ron? A collapsible or take-apartable replacement?

Confused..!!

why do you need twist the bar out of anywhere..?? They fit flat against the frame bolt on with the flanges and bushings. Add the stops and attach the bar ends. Are they going behind the frame..?? Good thing you have that nice lift...:thumbup:

Not the same on the 2013.

I should have taken a picture with my camara besides of Harvey's:banghead::banghead::banghead:

But he used 2 Sears ATV lifts, one on each tire, strapped to make sure it didn't slip. The trick is to get the lift at least 2" more than a regular lift.

I'm not sure on the ST but on the 2013 RT it is necessary to drop the bar straight down to be able to remove it. Most motorcycle lifts won't raise the bike higher than the bar is long.

How about a hoist; grab the bike by the bars and head for the ceiling? :dontknow:

Here you go... its in a channel and it has to slide out then twist down.

Or maybe a rotisserie to turn the STS upside down :dontknow:

I'm not so sure my white sox wouldn't dirty his floor. :roflblack::roflblack:
Great garage!

Thanks, My dad stayed on me all the time to put tools up. And he always was on me about keeping any spills and mess up. He said there was no way to do a good clean job if the environment was dirty. I don't know if it is completely true but it has definitely helped over the years. I miss him more every year since he passed away. I never could imagine how much I learned while he was alive...
For every ass beating I got I can honestly say I deserved them.

I took the picture on Cheaha mountain. After he passed away I had it water etched on his marker. He was on a VTX1800C with a voyager trike kit. He later went to a BOSS HOSS trike. I used to complain when he would come beat on my door wanting me to install his latest chrome part. I would give everything I have for that time again...
