I like the black mounts....matches most engines.

As for the bar...Chome or high polish would be nice....esp for car show purposes.

NOPE!!!

Only RMM and UGO...but the latter is discontinued and RMM is on 2 months back order. Also...the RMM needs extra spacer for 2001+ GS300....no problems for 98-2000 GS300.

Not much selections out there. I wish there were MORE choices....seems like eveyrone itching for a front upper STB lately.

Yah...love the RMM bar...esp cuz of the chrome finish....very bling bling....good for car shows.

Only prob is that i got a 2001 GS300...so I need 1/2" of spacers to avoid rubbing my engine cover.

Well...i just think if some manufacturer can develop a stb for all 2nd GS w/ engine cover...without spacers....that would be like....AWESOME!!! I would'nt care what finish it was....if there were choices....even better.
