Thanks for the pic's marc340! I've been waiting to see the new sway bar setup!

 

Is the new sway bar setup a simple bolt on item to change a 2009 to the new setup?

 

Doesn't look like it Ruggo, the A-Arms are completely different. I wonder if those A-arms would mount on an '09? That would be pretty expensive though.

 

It's a good thought, but just doing the sway bar mod would be cheaper and probably much easier.

 

Yep..and besides..is it just me or does that set up look a little cheap compared to the '09 set up? I'm not digging the bushing alignment at the swaybar at all...but then again maybe that is a dealer set up item and they just didn't center the link before they tighted it down?

 

I agree, it doesn't look as sturdy. Whether that would affect anything, I don't know, but it doesn't look as stout as the 09's

 

It's interesting to look at some of the new stuff...like the rear suspension and see how they incorporated parts from other machines over the years into the newer machines....that new upper A-arm uses bushing,bolts ect from older machines...makes sense really..use what you already make where it fits the need. Maybe not 99% new anymore though...lol

 

i agree the sway bar look cheap. the front rack is nice batery location don't change nothing for me but i order the small piece for the exhaust at the back because i already see one that melt the plastic.i will post the part #.

 

Marc, seems like you had to Dirty-it-up a lil before taking the pics. I guess you couldn't hold out, huh? lol..lol

Enjoy!

Very interesting! Especially how they re-routed the rear brake lines.
