Default New front stb clears ALL engine covers
Whooooaaa!! Got it today and it clears my 2001 GS300's engine cover.... without spacers. In fact...i removed the black O-ring spacer.

It also clears the GS430 with engine cover too.

And most importantly, I think there is enough space for EDFC.

Give Steve Ganz a call for more info.

YES!! The 2001+ GS300 and GS430 have the highest sitting engines....so if it clears them....it will clear the 98-2000 GS300, and the GS400 without any problems.

LOL!!! It does touch the hood insulation....but so did my RMM with spacers.

Main thing is that the hood DOES close.

Any difference in feel / handling between the RMM and this one?

Imo...its a bit stiffer cuz now.....I have no O-rings and washers.

Thus the mounts are much more stable than ever before.

Looks like a nice piece. I think a bunch of people will be happy since many want to keep the engine cover.
