I upgraded my sway bar. It made a big difference on the 1K. I've thought about doing a front sway bar also. The new turbo 1K has both stock

Old thread...

I removed my front sway bar prior to the recent Johnson Lane rides. The front was more compliant in reducing the rolling "bobble head effect", but it seemed to highlight the need to toss the stock shocks (Bandit Series 46 now on order). I'm looking forward to increased compression/rebound damping along with better, progressive spring rates to compensate somewhat for the sway bar removal. A little throttle and rear wheel slide to control the rolling tendency when the inside front wheel lifts is kind of fun, but not when in sand ruts that prevent rear end drift. In that case, letting off seems to be the only option (or slowing down).

Some rigs don't have front sway bars and some do, like the new Turbo. So my question is why if more articulation is needed for off-road? I understand the need for higher speed hardpack cornering, so maybe a quick release system would be good for those who feel the need for better chassis roll control, or less, depending on the riding conditions.

Personally, I'm staying with no front sway bar. I believe Bandit Suspensions recommends front sway bar removal when installing their shocks. We'll see when the shocks arrive.

Thoughts?
