Before the sway bar, i would have to fight the wind a bit, i didnt have to fight as much, maybe just lightly apply pressure to opposite direction where the wind was hitting me.. And i don't weigh much LOL.....its all car weight
I'm thinking about it. it's actually the first mod I thought I'd do, was going to ask Garm to bring me one @ the last meet and I forgot. No rush though.

I hear you. They were just talking about it on the radio tonight.

They had a professor in Civil engineering from UC Berkeley on the radio, earlier tonight, explaining why Cal Trans (the entity in charge of the bridge repairs in California) had done a lousy repair job last time, allegedly failed to comply with certain inspection requirements, and now the very same part broke again (They first noticed the crack when they were working on the bridge over Labor Day, closed the Bridge then, too). It's f'ing insane.

I'm with Kioshi, I don't speed but I don't particularly enjoy going over the bridges around here, or in the Tube for that matter.
