Default Phazer sway bar ?s

Has anyone with a newer (07 and up) Phazer disconnected the sway bar links and have any info? We have 2 of em but I have NO CLUE what leaving them hooked up or un-hooked would do to them. And not really in the position to "R&D" to see the results.

Thanks

These sleds are really tippy to start with and disconnecting makes them really unpredictable on the trail if not downright scary. Ive haven't got a first ride in yet but just playing around the house in the yard i have decided that there probably best left in. you could always just disconnect one side and see how it works. A lot depends on the rider and there style of riding. On another site this is how one individual did it and his report

So I went ahead and made a home made disco. It was pretty easy, here's the pics. All that is left is a re-usable zip tie so I can rotate the link back and zip it to the sway bar. I will report my test as soon as I can get the next ride in, within a couple of days.

I put some miles on this mod today and I have to say it is awesome! I timed myself and it takes 30 seconds to get off the sled, disconnect and get back on, about 45 seconds to do the reverse. In the twisty, bumpy tight, off camber stuff it is great, sidehilling is so much easier too as well as boondocking. On the groomed trail however, it is a different story. Anything above 40 mph is sketchy as the sled wants to tip away from the turn. No big deal though, just reconnect and go! I tackled some terrain today with new confidence, I am so happy I did this mod and I would highly recommend it to anybody that takes their machine off the beaten path. You only need to do one side to negate the effects of the sway bar and this means it stays put and doesn't sag. I zip tied a piece of clear PVC tubing around the sway bar directly beneath the A-arm just in case it comes in contact with it. I also used a re-usable zip that I trimmed down so I can rotate the dogbone down and back, tieing it up to and parallel with the say bar
