why are the end links adjustable??does it really make a difference if you adjust the bar where its angled up higher? Why can't you just attach the ends of the sway bar up to the frame?

The manufacturer recommendations say the sway bar should be level. For proper geometry to work.

Its adjustable because they don't know how much gap you have in your suspension, to work best it needs to be on a flat plane with your axle, not angled up or down, so the ends need to be adjustable to meet the various suspension gaps on the various trucks.

The u bolts that attach it to your springs are adjustable to your needs. Mine ore about half way. It makes a huge difference. Adjust it to what you like or need for you to haul your stuff

My husband is 5'11" and he had to add a 3 inch riser to the handlebars and put the seat all the way up to make it fit....He wished he would have had a 4" riser instead of the 3". We both got the same bike, I am 5'4" and had to put in a new lower seat post. The suspension on the seat post didn't allow the seat to be low enough for me. We both got new saddles as the ones that came with the bike were very uncomfortable....All that being said, we are very pleased with the bikes after making the adjustments. Even the guy at the bike shop who went over the bikes after my husband assembled them said they were a good deal for the price.

We also questioned wether we could add an extension bar and searched the manufactures web site and found that they do have longer support bars. But we never purchased the extension aswe had already installed the light/fan and had cut the wires. At the time it seemd strange that the wires were so long, but on reflection I now know why, they are for the longer bar. Hope this helps.

Doesn't need a new track or sway bar. If it's the stock shocks you may need to go a little longer. Mine aren't the stock ones so it works good. Sometimes if they are too short it can bottom out on the spacer. Which isn't a problem as long as you don't get too crazy with the truck. Other than that it's a fantastic product. Looks great.

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

Hi flimia,There is no weight limit at which we suggest using two sway control bars. It really comes down to your preference and comfort level. I would suggest installing one sway control at first. Drive it around, test it, and see how it feels to you. It does not hurt to install one on each side if you feel that it would work better for you. Please give us a call at 800-334-2004 if you would like to speak to someone further. We are here Mon - Fri from 8am - 5pm EST.

I do not clamp my bikes on the seat post. I clamp them on the top bar right up close to the seat post. I think it feels sturdier and it gets the bike up higher. I hope that helps?

Also, meant to add that you should remove your stem from steerer tube, not your bars from your stem. That way, when you reassemble you don't lose your fit/bar angle.

They haven't been an issue for me, but I adjusted the horizontal cross arm with the clamp on it out pretty far. I mainly did that so I can run the pedals and shift gears with the bike on the stand without the pedal on the stand side running into the vertical bar. I guess the added benefit of adjusting the bike farther away from the rack is that it keeps the stand legs out of the way also. The stand they show in the picture does not have the legs fully extended. When they are, it's a really wide base and I haven't had any issues with it wanting to tip over. I'm usually putting a MTB with 29" wheels on it so it's pretty heavy. I've also used the stand in my back yard on uneven surfaces and it's still pretty solid.

Yes, this kit comes with inner and outer tie rods for both sides. And Yes these are a lot bigger than stock. I had to buy extended sway bar links when I put these on my truck because these are bigger they would sometimes contact the sway bar. I didn't see any on amazon but if you type in " silverado extended sway bar end links" on eBay you'll see them. You'll only need the ones extended 1". They should be around $50

Forgot to mention in my answer that the bikes should be secured to the center post while the tilt feature is used..... I use an adjustable nylon strap and it works just fine.

You could possibly buy the right size screws and modify the supplied adapters. I had to do that with mine but I used the old bar ends and made my own adapter. Also, even though they are small, you can see more behind and beside you. I have two of them on my FZ6-R and I feel it increased the visibility 10 fold. Actually view overlap directly behind me now where my factory mirrors were blocked by my body.

The bracket that is attached to the handle bars is two pieces that can be tightend/loosend/adjusted with screws. I've used mine on different bikes with no problems. I suppose you could use longer screws to attach it if you have a problem. It's a very nice product.

You can loosen, adjust and re-tighten the cross bars to what you need. I slid mine as far front and back they could go.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

Seems like the shorter bars are what make the difference. Grips don't play a part in that. These are great by the way.
