One of the best mods for a Spyder. I’ve been told by friends that it really helps in turns and when passing 18 wheelers. Easiest install I did, was helping a friend. He lifted the front with a tractor front loader using straps to the upper a-arms. Oh, and Lamonster Garage and Spyderpops are the best people to deal with hands down!! Spyder Accessories is great as well.
I'm thankful that you did this video on the installation! I would figure it out ,but you going through the process on video is extremely helpful. I don't understand why no one has done this before now. You are a pioneer for doing this video! My 21' RTL Marsala is in the basement right now till it warms up, 20 degrees in NC this morning.
That you very much for making this video. I've been seeing all the reviews on forums and will definitely get this done when my 2022 Spyder RTL is delivered in May or June. I will have to review your video a few times just to make certain that I'm doing it right. Now I just have to figure-out how to jack the bike the required height in the parking spot of our apartment building's basement garage. Thanks again from Nova Scotia.
@@TwoIndians I would have to find a safe outdoor parking spot and get some ramps similar to your. I would lean them against the back of my Yukon. Thanks again!
It's nice that mods like this are available to adapt the bike to individual needs and comfort. I will be looking at this exact Spyder (love the color) this spring after riding two wheels all my life ... can't wait. Great video and cheers from Canada!!
Kept hearing about these bars and just got a RTL recently. Great video showing how to install it- I think it convinced me to just go have Lamonster put one on while doing a few other changes ;)
I have been considering this for my 21 RT LTD. We are almost always 2 up and towing a trailer. If I do go this route Spydeee will be going to the dealer that job looks a bit above my pay grade.. LOL. Cheers.... good video.. 👍🇨🇦
Listening to Barbara on the "first attempt" made me laugh out loud! Brought the missus in to see it...her comment? "Huh, she sounds like me. Is that why you're laughing?" LOL!!! But thanks Barbara for your comments about the improved handling...I'll add it to the list for Dana's new RT....after we get her seating position in the right place......
Great video thanks for sharing looks like a great improvement you would think for the price of the Spyder they would come from the factory with a better sway bar . I never got to ride one out on the highway just in a parking lot and loved it almost 71 thinking of going from two wheels to three great video take care
It’s been a terrific upgrade and I believe it’s a must have. I think the benefit is even greater if you’re riding two-up or if you’re larger than the average Joe (or Jill) 😉
Nothing to do with the machine, she just stopped riding. 🤷🏼♂️ we bought it because she wanted something with more storage for longer trips but she just stopped wanting to go anywhere.
The bell is called a gremlin bell. It’s superstitious thing among bikers/riders. The way the story goes is you mount them low behind the front tire to catch any gremlins (or problems) that may be on the road and they supposedly hit the bell and it knocks them out. Hahaha, sounds stupid now that I write it out. They key is you cannot buy your own bell, it has to be given as gift by someone that cares about you and you cannot ask for it.
Very informative video, I have a 2021 RTL that I put almost 9000 miles on this season. As the miles piled up I began to notice the sway in the curves. I will do this modification before I hit the road this spring. I have a question for you, was there an antifreeze or some kind of fluid leak on RTL?
You’re the second one to mention this. We’ve not had any overheating issues so I’m going to chalk it up to an overfill maybe. Keeping an eye on it, thanks!
@@bobaloo6873 this bar is thicker and does not twist as easily. We went for a long ride last night and Barbara got off the bike saying she’s still amazed how much of an improvement this thing gives.
Great video. The 2021 is totally different than the Queen’s 2018. You don’t have to take any upper body panels off. Looks like a new upgrade for Pearl this spring
Hey buddy I see antifreeze on the bottom. Same thing happened to mine. It’s the recovery tank. The weld two pieces together. Instead of making one piece. Please have the dealer check it. It’s happened to a lot of my friends and of course myself. Good lock and thanks for the video
Do you know if installing the Baja Ron sway bar will cancel the warranty? I have a 22 RTL with a 3 year extended warranty. Enjoyed the video. Ride safe.
No idea but I know the FTC has put out a ruling that states that no warranty can be nullified unless the manufacturer can prove the modification resulted in the warranty defect. So in effect they can’t just cancel your warranty on the motor because you installed the sway bar but if you’re getting unusual tire wear they could definitely have a case
OK, let me see if I got things right here... Body sway is less on the trike now so you do not feel your body is being forced left or right in the turns as much?
Essentially yes. the sway bar is not suspending the laws of physics obviously , your speed, weight and other factors would dictate the force on your body but the bike is pitching to the left or right to a lesser degree on those turns now so the result is a feeling of more control. The bike is more neutral on the turn, less affected by inertia due to the higher tensile strnegth and sprnig action of the sway bar. You feel it right away. It feels like the bike is not trying to throw you off as much as the stock set up.
not any change in the nose dive department, that's more of a shock absorber issue. I've heard of a lot of people doing that but never researched it myself. Barbara doesnt complain about so I keep my to-do list shorter :D
The reason I asked was in the vid there looked like pink stains on the bottom hose which could indicate a coolant leak, or just spillage from filling. @@TwoIndians
Removing factory parts certainly would here in NZ. I was warned that even fitting extra lights to my Sea to Sky would possibly be used as a reason to refuse warranty service for electrical issues, for example.
We also might have issues with insurers. They're not keen on non factory parts like this which they may seek to use as an excuse not to pay out for accidents etc.
Leave them alone. I have been a 2 wheel biker for over 40 years, there’s no helmet law here and I only wear them if it’s cold. Just don’t crash! Although I will agree helmets do save lives more than take lives!!!😉

Put my Bajaron bar on today, took about 3 hours and went for a ride, As you did, I highly recommend, much better in the twisty's now. Great mod.
Great video as usual, Brian. CanAm & Indian need to make you an ambassador.

A jack will not work, you have to have at least 22” off the ground.

Thanks for watching and commenting. We’re still exploring other options for this bike. New sound system and lighting is next.

Thanks for the video i have purchased the baja ron swaybar kit will be installing it on my 21 rt limited in the next week or so.
Nice! The install goes a lot faster when you’re not filming.
Divorce papers were close lol.. love how Barbara did the test ride afterwards.. hahaha
Time to start the sea to shore channel!

Great video, looks like a useful upgrade. I may do it someday, but this helps to know that I will probably need a whole day to do it myself 😂
Very smart upgrade.
Top notch.
Thanks for sharing, excellent work as usual 👍

Don't forget to update us on how well this install is working out for you in a future video, have my 2020 RTL in the garage now.
It’s been a terrific upgrade and I believe it’s a must have. I think the benefit is even greater if you’re riding two-up or if you’re larger than the average Joe (or Jill) 😉
Nice video! Thinking of getting from 2 to 3 wheels myself :) Where in FL are you guys?
In the orlando area. Barbara has since sold her Can Am and rides the Bobber from time to time.
Oh! And thanks for the compliment!
@@TwoIndians Really.... why so?
Nothing to do with the machine, she just stopped riding. 🤷🏼♂️ we bought it because she wanted something with more storage for longer trips but she just stopped wanting to go anywhere.
@@TwoIndians Sorry to hear! That happens..... different stages of life for all of us.... Please, stay well!!!!
OK.. I'm new here... two questions: 1. What are the bells for
2. Do you have to do a front tire alignment after doing this? Thanks and cheers!
The bell is called a gremlin bell. It’s superstitious thing among bikers/riders.

What's the difference with this and the stock one?
@@bobaloo6873 this bar is thicker and does not twist as easily. We went for a long ride last night and Barbara got off the bike saying she’s still amazed how much of an improvement this thing gives.
Very cool!
What you call a comedy, I would be cussing up a storm!
Dude, there was so much cussing you have no idea 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video. The 2021 is totally different than the Queen’s 2018. You don’t have to take any upper body panels off. Looks like a new upgrade for Pearl this spring
Hi Martin do you have video of installation of signature lights
Hey buddy I see antifreeze on the bottom. Same thing happened to mine. It’s the recovery tank. The weld two pieces together. Instead of making one piece. Please have the dealer check it. It’s happened to a lot of my friends and of course myself. Good lock and thanks for the video
Thanks for the heads up, you’re not the first to comment on that. She’s going in for service in a week or so
@@TwoIndians I went through the same thing. Still waiting on mine to come in. Good luck!!
Also clean off that overspill coolant so if you have a leak you won’t be chasing ghosts of coolant past
Make sure if you use ramp that the ramps a connected with strap to the truck so that don’t pop off the tail gate.
You better believe it. And put a wheel chock under the back wheel! I did both.
Do you know if installing the Baja Ron sway bar will cancel the warranty? I have a 22 RTL with a 3 year extended warranty. Enjoyed the video. Ride safe.

Nice video! Does FL require a 3 wheeler license?
Thanks! We have a 2wheel and 3wheel license here. If you have the 2 wheel you’re covered for both
Thanks, if I'm recalling correctly my MFS instructor said that here in Delaware you need a special 3 wheeler endorsement.
I get nervous when hubby brings mine up in the air. Cause it rocks.
Since the chassis shifted, you might wish to have the alignment checked.
Just wondering, my wife feels like she's being launched off the back when I brake. Did this upgrade reduce the nose drop as well when braking?
not any change in the nose dive department, that's more of a shock absorber issue. I've heard of a lot of people doing that but never researched it myself. Barbara doesnt complain about so I keep my to-do list shorter :D
ok thanks. I know what your saying about the to do list. good luck with that
I put on the Elka shocks on our 2021 to improve nose dive. It’s like ride on rails
Great vid, what colour is the coolant on the Cam Am?
LOLOL
The reason I asked was in the vid there looked like pink stains on the bottom hose which could indicate a coolant leak, or just spillage from filling. @@TwoIndians
@@chrishunter5041 ahhh LOL I have no idea. I thought you joking about the color
Does it pay to replace the sway bar on a 2022 sea to sky?
Don’t know, but it sure does on a ‘21 so I can’t imagine it would be any different.
Why the Vice grips?
Not even sure what you’re referring to but I don’t have every possible tool under the sun so sometimes I make do with what I have to get the job done.
✊👍👊❤️
Does this not void your warranty?
How would this void a warranty?
Removing factory parts certainly would here in NZ. I was warned that even fitting extra lights to my Sea to Sky would possibly be used as a reason to refuse warranty service for electrical issues, for example.
In the states they would have to prove the changes are what caused a failure. Probably not an issue with a sway bar.
We also might have issues with insurers. They're not keen on non factory parts like this which they may seek to use as an excuse not to pay out for accidents etc.
Nice! I’ve got to have mine serviced so I’m gonna cheat and have time do it :-)
There's only going to be one Indian you keep riding around with no helmet. 🤣😥😂😭
Actually riding without a helmet is not the problem, it’s crashing without a helmet right? 😉
Leave them alone. I have been a 2 wheel biker for over 40 years, there’s no helmet law here and I only wear them if it’s cold. Just don’t crash! Although I will agree helmets do save lives more than take lives!!!😉
🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Spend some money on gear wrenches you will wonder what you have been doing without them
You are going to have to learn to speak Canadian if you’re going to continue working on the Can-Am.
You may be right, eh?
Take off eh hoser?
Take off to the great white north!
