Another quality video! I want you to know I have gained the confidence to do a number of these repairs/upgrades because of @it'syoursown it! Last week my wife came into the garage to find the entire front end of my 2014 RTS off to repair a radiator leak and replace my fuel filter and she said "I never knew you were a wrencher".... LOL I appreciate you taking the time to document and upload your context. Looking forward to more down the road! Be safe out there Brother!
Allcd I wish I could show you a picture or 2 of my recent after market up grades I did. I used some if not all your methods in your videos. The kurst spring compression system for the BaJaRon spring compressors worked great just one or 2 of my own tweaks. I also did the BaJaRon sway bar too. I think the most difficult part or the hole job is replacing all the cover and push pins etc. thanks again!!
I might order the cheap compressor just so I can build that nifty jig. One question at the point where you stopped were the collars all the way up or at there lowest setting? Another great video. Bill
The instructions have you screw out the adjusters as far as you can when the end cap is put back on the strut, then after it is installed back on the bike you screw them all the way down (collapsed) which is basically stock setting. Then place a sticker on the adjuster so you can keep track of the number of turns while you increase the pre-load.
Bill Pettit, I did get about 150 miles on it just around my area. I am very impressed so far with the sway bar. I might go up a turn or two with the spring adjusters and see how it rides. I also have new front tires ordered. They were cupping on the inside, so I got a laser alignment after I was done with all the upgrades. I have several more videos to get edited/posted but we took our daughter on a little pre college graduation trip to DC so everything is on hold for a few days.
Your energy and get it done attitude are inspiring. I wish I had your energy. An I ther great video, full of awesome ideas.
Your videos are always First Class! Thank you so much for taking the time to video and edit these upgrades! You are one of the good guys, for certain!

That is an awesome idea for an anchor point when hauling.

Have you had you newly updated Can -Am out for a spin yet? If so what are your thoughts?
