I would not think so but it does not hurt to get another datapoiny one way or another if you guys are test fitting it.

As for UGO, they are discontinued.

There was a member who got it to work but he had to modify the engine cover. It actually looked pretty good.

Edit: Found the pic. The member is presto and he cut the cover in half. Not many will do this but it is an option.

i have to say, it does look pretty funny.

also, i wonder how hard it's going to be to change oil, coz' on the 430, the oil cap is higher and from the pic it looks like it's directly under the bar

The TRD strut bar will fit a GS300 with some spacers, but it will be touching the padding on the hood. It BARELY fits, and I don't think adding spacers on a reinforcement part is such a good idea to begin with.

So I think going with something that really fits is better (Juran, RMM, Ugo, etc.)

I had one but I don't have it anymore. It's a very basic one. And it cost about $130 USD in Japan. Maybe Mr. Ganz can hook us up with a group buy?

I already have my UGO but was just wondering since both UGO and RMM are very hard to come by right now. I think the 300 owners are down to the RVM.
