Strut bars and braces
#17
i have the old oem 1gen gs stb. it does not fit over the gs3 engine cover. as a matter of fact it rubs on my throtle body so i took it off. there is a 1/8" triangle ring that goes under the nuts on the top of the shocks. if i leave that on it clears with no issues but there is no threads left on the shock bolts. so the only thing i can think of is getting slightly thinner nuts? i have seen many member with it (i think carbongs had it originally)

also don....just cause it fits the GS430 DOESNT mean it will clear the GS400 with no problems but since you actually have both i will trust you to try it on both. i would order ONE first and see if it clears both....ALSO remember your motor will flex when you push the gas (depending on the condition of your motot mounts it will move more or less) so make sure you have enough room to clear this also. when i mounted my CF cover i did the finger test for for it which i will do for my RMM bar when i get it

The more difficult question is if fits the GS430 w/ engine cover because not only does the GS430 engine sits high, but also wide with engine cover.
So with that being said, if it fits the GS430 w engine cover, it should fit all GS300 and GS400 w engine cover.

Brian...fyi...the GS400 engine sits in the engine bay very low...lower than the GS300 (98-00) and (01-05), and the GS430. I tested it myself. If it fits the GS300 w/ engine cover, then it will fit the GS400 w/ engine cover.
