Very nice write up Jeff . What about the ride quality comparison write up? What were you results; what difference in performance did you notice? You know before and after.

Jeff nice write up and great pics.. but I did notice that you did not include the torque specs for the 4 bolts that hold the bar on... Can you post those for us please... Might want to edit them into the original post... Oh yeah what kind of bar is this? Looks like the Tom's one but with extra bars welded in the corners...
i had to remove the stock mini cross member cuz the tanabe was sitting lower than the stock exhaust thus touching the mini cross member. not a big deal since only 2 small 10mm screws held it in place. it make me think its only there to keep the exhaust from falling completely off in case something went wrong and or the drive shaft.
First off this is a great writeup to a solution i'm sure all of us are not happy with... that being the sloppy rear-end. Unfortunately, i've searched ebay to my wits end to find any front or lower rear chassis braces for a GS400/430 and it seems they are no longer available. Does anybody have any suggestions or links to find the cheaper ebay lower chassis braces? I know that tom's/cusco are available still .. but are more expensive and my goal is to solve this problem on a budget. Thanks.
