Broken Sway Bar, remove?

Had a buddy over looking at the new Dragon, and in typical form, wanted to compare and point out that the 07 was not that old, or different. We were looking at the front suspension and the old sled didn’t have a sway bar!! I knew I didn’t take it off and that it was sposta’ be there, so I looked and the front left bar is missing with a real clean break right at the attachment near the belly. We thought that is a pretty thick bar, I should have felt that one… then I remember hitting a buried tree after the first big powder day and having sudden stoppage. I did the superman about 10 feet in the air and there was a group of sleds across the valley watching so I didn’t stick around to check the sled.

Anyway, I must have ridden the majority of the season without the front left sway bar. I did notice and thought the shocks were fading because I cranked the springs up. Apparently the right half provides some support because the sled wasn’t handling bad.

Should I replace, or just take the whole thing off? If I want to take it off what will I need to do to compensate?

By the way this will be a backup sled/crappy snow condition sled.

I'll take it off and try it. If Washington gets some snow!!! I'm just worried about letting inexperienced riders ride it; might be a good excuse to have them ride the wife's sled

I do notice with this sled that it does not like to roll hard and does "snap back" too easy when you don't want it too.

The short ride on the Dragon (in the dirt through the yard and into the garage) seemed more responsive to rider input (my fat *** hanging to one side or the other)

Thanks guys, I’ll update after test.
