I don't know what your riding preferences are, but I bought my P500 as a "sport-utility". I want to carry things on it, versus a backpack. ( I've gotten lazy in my advancing years. Ha! ) Unless you are trying to make yours into a "rock crawler", I see no reason to remove the sway bar. You will lose a lot of advantages (stability) in one direction, to gain a relatively small advantage (flexibility) in the other. This is just one "old guy's" opinion, so you "adrenaline junkies" can disregard my ramblings. Ha!Any thoughts on removing the sway bars?
