I have not seen them in the 987 tequipment catalog.

Someone said the 986 humps fit the 987 be he did not actually try them.

I have the humps and there is a 987/997 tech session at my local dealer on April 9th. I think I will bring my humps over and put them on a 987 and see what happens

I also have the hardtop, but I hate putting that thing on. I think it will fit but not work because the shape of the 987 side windows are different than a 986. If there is a 986 on the lot with a hardtop I'll give it a try on a 987.

if the hardtops are the same except the window shape, the speedster humps should fit.

however, they may look a bit wierd as the rollbars on the 7 are angular instead of curved on the 6

Cool

The roll bars on the 987 are more angular (squared off) than on the 986, so it may not look as good 'cause you'll have a bit of a line clash. Thoughts?

Theoretically, I think you are right. There's till enough curve I think that it would be OK. We'll have to see it to see, though.
