Re: Rear anti-sway bar: I installed one on my 85 westy 6 years ago that I ordered from JC Whitney. It was on sale, <$100, and was a nice beefy unit. The installation required drilling some holes in the frame for mounting. It wasn't too challenging of a project; accompanying directions were good, had drilling templates, etc. I did see some immediate positive effects in handling, particularly in cornering. I believe cross-wind resistance was improved, but this may be an over-optimistic perception on my part. The unit has held up well over the 6 years. Only problem was that I had remove it temporarily to replace a tranny this summer, as it crosses at the front tranny mount. -Steve Frisbee
