[FC] Re: anti sway bar

[James Davis]

The advantages are less wind sensitivity and more neutral handling 
when fully loaded.  The disadvantage is the front wheels hit the 
front bar when the steering is at full lock decreasing the turning 
radius.   How much depends on the width of the tires. The bars will 
allow you to run softer rate springs for better suspension 
control.  Another plug for Ken Hand's front spring/shock upgrade.  I 
have never had an FC with only a front bar so how well it might work 
I couldn't say.
