Larry,

As I understand it, the whole point of changing from the fixed spring to
the swing spring is, effectively, to remove almost all roll stiffness
from the rear suspension (the lowest leaf, which remains fixed, is all
the roll stiffness there is).  The front roll bar is beefed up to
compensate.

If you introduce a rear sway bar (anti-roll bar) you will effectively be
undoing (at least partially) all Triumph's work in introducing the
swing-spring in the first place.

Anyone who is more of a suspension guru than me (which wouldn't be TOO
challenging) is quite welcome to disagree, however!!!
