Default Bicycle rack

Any suggestions on a bicycle rack for a 2nd gen GS300 ? I've got a mountain bike and road bike (both very expensive) and looking for a good rack to transport them.

Yakima, Swagman, and Thule make good carriers

Yakima makes a roof rack kit that fits the 2GS.

What kind of rack are you looking for? Roof, trunk, or tow hitch?

I'm thinking trunk. Seasucker looks great, but kinda pricey.

Yeah it is compared to the trunk racks. It is on par to the roof rack pricing after you factor in the mounts, rails and then the actual rack.

Seasucker looks interesting! I'm sure it works great but I don't think I could ever use it (without worry) knowing the only thing that's keeping it from falling out is paint adhesion. lol.

Yeah I was a bit nervous to say the least the first few times I put my full carbon cannonade on my roof held on by suction cups haha. They have been tested though and are as reliable if not more reliable then their perniment mounting counterparts. Haven't seen a single issue and they company is local to me

I may have to look into this for my brother. I was going to fabricate a hitch system for his Porsche Boxster but this seasucker stuff could end up being cheaper.
