Robby,
I have the ProTect for the Scotts, and while I like it standing in the whoops, for the majority of my riding its just to tall. Before I got hurt last April, I had a lot of weird arm issues I never had before. I'm looking to go back to a top mount. What do you have now? Do the Scotts and GPR have the same mount/offset dimmensions? (That might be asking too much).

Glenn,
I have the stock bar mounts with those 2 little washers under each mount. On top I have the BRP bar clamp that accepts either the Scotts or the GPR. I would have to look at Girard's Scotts to see if it lines up with the holes that are used for the GPR as there are 2 different set of holes for monting the dampner. And yes my dampner is on top.

I have the ProTect mount as well. I'm a C rider so that may be a factor in my opinion.
I find it very comfortable and don't notice problems standing or sitting but I do stand most of the time. One thing that I did do was put on a set of 2003 Hebo bars that had a lower bend and a hair more sweep than my 2004 stock bars and that made the whole setup work great for me. I rarely get arm pump.

Glenn,
How much height does the protect mount give your bars vs. the stock set up. I would be willing to buy your set up minus the dampner if you are interested. Plus I will give you my upper BRP mount and pin tower. My tower is a bolt on. Take some pictures of yours and post them please.

I'd say its about 20 - 25mm higher. I also run the lowest bars I can find (KTM SX Renthals). I guess I just prefer low bars. I got this to make me stand more when I had back problems last year, but it just feels like my arms are at an extreme angle and I have tricep issues, same thing with the Pastrana FMX bars I tried. When I get off my Hyper and sit on the GG it feels like a chopper with apes!
The key is in the mounting hole / center pivot dimmension. I got a feeling they are different though.
There is a pic in my gallery but its not a good view of the height.
