Default Rear Strut Tower Brace

Does anyone know if a rear strut tower brace exists for the 1st gen GS? I've seen some on eBay advertised for the 97 & up but not sure if anyone has one or attempted to put one on.

Have you seen where the gas tank is? Right in between the strut towers. Epik mentioned to me that someone does make one but it's like an maze of parts.

Yeah, I've seen right where it would go so I'm not worried about the trouble of putting it on but from the pictures of the ones I've seen i just don't know if it would clear the gas tank...

Only night-pager sold them at one time.

the 2nd Gen will not work because of the tank. I know because I tried... and going to modify the ends and "ADD" to it so it goes "OVER" the tank.

I'll post picks once its done.

If you try to do this, find someone who has excellent fabrication and welding skills and who's not going to rip you off.

Did you email Night Pager to see if they still sell them? I've tried and haven't gotten a response back yet.

And are you just going to use some sort of spacer to raise the bar that you bought?

And finally, could someone who knows how to fab parts and weld make one? I was under the impression that there was some type of geometry that went into the bar...
