you dont even need that, good racks today have some big pads on themtiny1877 said:Grab some felt pads and get a trunk-mount rack. Roof rack won't work with the sunroof. Receiver-mount requires a receiver, which will cost you probably $100 - $150 to buy and install yourself with no wiring since I'm sure you won't be towing anything with it that will require brake lights or turn signals or anything of that sort.
Possibly. Most of the racks hold the crossbar. But there's got to be some way to figure it out. How do they hold the 'female' bikes? You know, the ones with the lowered crossbar. Seems like that wouldn't be that much different than the shape of your bike, at least in the rack-mounting sense...mrjackson2000 said:after looking at trunk racks for a while this morning it came to me that i have an irregular frame

yes it will be problem. some companies have have this "arm" that clamps on the stem, and onto the seatpost, then the "arm" goes into the rack. this is pretty much the only way to carry such a bike. i couldnt find pics for ya, but ive seem them, so they do exist.mrjackson2000 said:after looking at trunk racks for a while this morning it came to me that i have an irregular frame
