LARGER REAR SWAY BARS ON 110

The tyre placard on my 1986 110 specifies pressures from 35/35 to 50/65 psi depending on loads and speeds. So a bit more than a few psi!

As long as it rides well and is within the rated pressure range marked on the tyre. Just remember to carry a good pump and let them down a little for sharp rocks and alot for soft sand.

I used to have a Pulsar on which the mechanic would always let the tyres down to 34psi despite it recommending 38 in the book and 40 on the Bob Jane sticker. Made a helluva difference to the handling when they were up at they're proper pressure.

Sway bars are not expensive to have made - alzheimers is preventing me from remembering who made my 27mm front bar - and with diff locks you don't miss the wheel travel.

Hi Rick,

I like the idea of a stiffer sway bar that can be disconnected and have been looking at these. How do they disconnect? And are the completely removed as they do seem to be asking for damage?

Thanks,

I'd have thought having front/rear diff lockers might be more advantageous off road than disconecting the sway bar. In situations where two opposite corners could be held in the air, better articulation (disengaged sway bars) would help some of the time but locked front/rear diffs would help everytime. Plus, then you have lockers for boggy terrain as well.

Lockers seem like the mod more commonly installed too.

Bonus round: take a look at how V8 Supercar's variable torsion sway bars work. Brilliantly simple.*[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pgcN4XXqPU&feature=youtube_gdata_player]How anti-roll bars work on V8 Supercars - YouTube[/ame]

Check X-eng web site. They use a standard free wheel hub to lock and unlock. I like mine, but have to remember to disengage it in the rough. I broke it off when I reversed in to a rock, but I do have a long range tank, so it is mounted 70-80mm lower than standard. They are not difficult to remove but once it is on you wouldn't bother taking it off.

Sway bars and diff locks are the way to go for a tourer.
