Hey all, finally got around to installing last night, before i head off to Rangeley Maine this weekend. The install is a BREEZE and thanks to the great instructions i found on here took about 20 minutes, no joke. I have done all accessory installs on my sled and this was the easiest to date..
One questions I do have. Is there supposed to be a little side to side play with it installed? Like, If im pushing one end in, should it move a bit towards the other end? Bolt and nuts are all super tight, so no play from that. The linkages are pretty flush with the bar on the ends, i could probably get a few more mm's by pushing them in further, but does it matter?
Hope i made sense.

Well as you mention, you can push them in further before you tighten everything up. My preference would be to limit the amount of play as much as possible.

Cool, Thanks Lazy!!
I also had side play after installing the 13 mm sway bar. My bushings were fine and I had pushed the end links in as far as possible. Must me normal to have some side play. Sway bar works awesome...enjoy!
A sway bar need to twist alittle. By having no side to side movement will make or cause it to bind when cornering and not transfering the weight to the other ski. So alittle movement side to side is good.

siick, i cant wait to try it out...putting the powderhounds on with an 8" carbide and lowering the front suspension has made a HUGE impovement already, this should be the icing on the cake.. Next im thinking Fox Floats, should have just gotten the freaking RTX... I do love the Blue though!

How do you guys like your 13MM bars?? I'm very interested in getting a pair, as my sled sucks at cornering.

Love mine, makes a HUGE difference. Easy to install. Only loose a touch of compliance in the one-ski bumps.

It's only one bar not a pair.

I was just looking at this post of mine. After getting a chance to ride the sled, and ride it veryhard once the 13mm bar was installed, I can say that this is a GREAT addition to the sled.
Ski lift is definitely less of an issue now. I ride very hard and use every bit of this sled, so in my case I can feel this mod. I would say that if you are not riding very hard, then dont bother, as it's not something thats obvious unless you are railing into corners hard.
