Default Swaw Bar Quick Disconnect

Is there a kit that allows you to do this on Sportsmans without a lot screwing around???

I don't mind an installtion process........but once it's done I definately want the "Quick Change" type of deal.......preferably without any tools but I would guess that's probably asking too much.

Thanks, Bob

There's a guy on ebay that sells them. I have one you can check out my pics, it's very easy to remove and place back on, even when on the trail.

Thank you Chris.........That is EXACTLY what I had in mind........even better than I expected relative to easy of use as well (from what I can tell).

Does it basically work by simply pulling the cotter pins and removing the two vertical connector pins between the A-arm and the sway bar on both sides??? Would you say it can be done on the trail easily??? I'm thinking that uneven terrain would put tension/compression on them so you'ld need to do the change out on flat/even ground.

BTW.......Great pictures!!! and a very nice job outfitting your machine.

Bob

I also have one and you pull 2 pins to take off very easy. It's only for 1 side and I think it should be level when taking off and putting on to make it easier. Great product[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


You only need it on one side (side the left side, away from the muffer).

Getting it on and off:

1. Your right BOTH tires must be level to get it on and off.
2. You can have too much weigh on the rear to get it on and off ... I loaded my machine with a 200lbs of stuff with it off and had to remove most of it to get the sway bar back on.

Other than the above two points i found i can get it on and off in just a couple of mins. But most of the time, i ride without it ... It rides so much better.

Thanks guys

'SPORTSMAN70003'.......Your machine is awesome too!

Both you guys are making me get visions in my head that my squeaky tight wallet is taking exception to.

I have to say though that this mod is an absolute no brainer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thanks, also make sure you don't ride any faster than 30 mph with it unhooked. I got on mine the other day after a ride and took off wide open and almost lost it in a curve.

Thanks for the heads up........I kinda figured corning with any speed might be an issue.

BTW......I really like your headliner picture. Do you have a close up of THAT one???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] LOL
