Since I caught a rash of poo for saying the quad handled better without the swaybar and I was shown that pro gncc teams run sway bars.....I decided to make a quick disconnect so I could try the quad both ways in all the varied terrain I ride. I'm a couple hours from huge mud parks, extremely technical rocky stuff in WV, Sandy/dune areas and then where I live is rolling terrain with rocky clay soil.
On to the work, Ill attach all the pictures in the post below. The idea belonged to SquireCSA of this board first, I was just lucky enough to stumble across his post mixed in with some suspension bushing post. I wanted to make this post so it would be easy to search and for other people to find.
1.Remove left side bolt where it attaches to the cross over bar and replace it with a safety pin (the kind used for towing). Do the left side and not the right side so it does not smash in to the muffler when you get the suspension at full compression. I just took my bolt to the hardware store and found one the same OD as the bolt I removed.
2. Thread a large Zip tie (Or Paracord or stainless wire) through the hole in the frame and make it into a loop. When you unhook the sway bar just attach the end of the L bracket to the zip tie in your frame. Give it enough slack for full droop and you will be good to go.
I have ridden it hard with this setup and no issues so far. The only place I find the sway bar beneficial is in the sandy dune areas, everywhere else I still like the sway bar disconnected. I plan on racing the quad again this Fall and will do so with the sway bar attached to see if I like it any better.
Pics BELOW! Any questions please ask, hopefully some people will find this thread useful.
