Replying to: rabadash (Jul 22, 2009 5:46 pm) i wasn't even looking at soft cases....are they durable? my concern is that stuff could shift weight easily and throw off the center of gravity of the car in motion moreso than with a rigid. any other opinions out there?

Replying to: jcpharm (Jul 23, 2009 12:42 pm) I have a soft top carrier and the biggest issue I have with it is that if you are taking a trip and need to stay overnight at a hotel, they are easily broken into with a utility knife. You can, of course, unload the whole thing, but that takes time. Outside of that though, I like all the advantages mentioned above. |

Replying to: mindleftnumb (Jul 30, 2009 12:16 pm) Most bike racks come with adapters for 2 1/4->3 or vice versa. Factory hitch only comes with TOW package (unless you ask dealer to order the part and install it at dealers). The factory hitch is more expensive (~$200). However, aftermarket hitches can be had for $150 shipped. Installation only takes about 30 minutes with torque wrench. The factory hitch is better integrated within the bumper. Aftermarket one sits below the bumper. To carry bikes only, you definitely don't need the TOW package.

| Has anyone seen these? They are similar to the CX-7 as they have fixed mounting for use without the rails. I happen to have a set I no longer need. | |
