Depends what it is. I see in your profile that you have a 99 GS300. Your best bets would be the RMM or the UGO one. You can do a quick search on the names. There have been some recent discussions on those bars.

BTW, I have the UGO and love it.

Good luck.

TRDs will not fit (well?)in a GS300. You may have to do some digging in old posts though. It has been awhile since I did my research. There may have been someone who tried with multiple spacers. I can't remember if I went against it because I did not want spacers or because it just did not work. I am leaning towards the latter. The Tom's won't fit either.

Sypher tried it and it didn't work. He had to use a few spacers to get it to fit.

I believe it is beyond the engine cover issue. It just won't fit without spacers because of the engine difference. The 98s and 99s don't even have an engine cover. My UGO fits without any spacers (not even the stock ring) at all.
