S.Y. Bancorp, Inc.

RE:	1995 Stock Incentive Plan
Registration Statement on Form S-8


Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the registration
by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
of up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value
(the "Common Stock"), to be issued by the Company from time to time
pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Incentive Plan.

In connection with this opinion, we have considered such matters of law
and examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction, of such documents and corporate and other records
and have obtained such certificates, letters, representations and
information from the officers, directors and employees of the Company
and from others as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us
to render the opinions expressed herein.

Based upon and in reliance upon the foregoing, and subject to the
qualifications and assumptions set forth below, it is our opinion that,
when (a) the Registration Statement has become effective in accordance
with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and the provisions
of such state securities or "blue sky" laws as may be applicable have
been complied with, and (b) the Common Stock has been duly delivered
against payment therefor, the Common Stock to be issued by the Company
will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Our opinion is limited by and subject to the following:
(a)	In rendering our opinion we have assumed that, at the time of
each issuance and sale of the Common Stock, the Company will be a
corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
(b)	In our examination of all documents, certificates and records,
we have assumed without investigation the authenticity and completeness
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity
and completeness of the originals of all documents submitted to us as
copies.  We have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons, the authority of all persons executing
documents on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company, and
the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the
parties thereto other than the Company.
(c)	Our opinion is based solely on and limited to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky and the federal laws of the United States of
America.  We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.


We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.



Yours very truly,

/S/ Stites & Harbison
