13mm sway bar on 2011 Apex

[blue rider]

So do i need any other parts, bushings, etc. Is it pretty straight forward to remove and install?

Pretty straight forward, no additional parts needed. I did mine when I was putting oilite bushings for this upcoming season.

Okay sounds good. Sway bar ordered. 02Viper i see you have the ulmer air lid just wondering if it made any difference. I have the PC5 and clutching and don't see a lot of difference.

I have the 13 and it is stiff but for the most part I like it. Inside ski lift is a lot less.
Maybe the 12 would be a good compromise?

Comes with a 11.75mm bar stock.

I honestly can't tell you as I put them on since day one. I just put the clutch kit on this past weekend for my first ride of the season. Seem to pull pretty good. A lot of snow in the Old Forge area, didn't race anybody, but also couldn't get a starting point for reference, was just spinning the track. I also had the shocks revalved and dual rate springs from Hy-gear done for this season. Loved the difference. Not as stiff when hitting the bumps.

Bar installed last week. Second ride today with it. Huge improvement in handling. sled does not dive in corners or loose snow anymore like it use too. Great addition! Love it. Should have come with this.

That's the one I'd like to try on my 08 Vector instead of the 13.

Rode a 14 Vector and Apex yesterday at a Yamaha demo ride and I could easily tell it cornered flatter than my 08.

I am sure there might be some other factors due to the age difference, but I have a feeling the 11.75 would be perfect on my Vector?

Anyone have one they'd like to sell?

My Attak has Fox 2s with Hygear canisters.
I installed the 12mm sway bar and I am very happy with the handling.
