After a little searching around for the best deals, I finally got my roof rack pieced together and took it on the road last weekend.

Looks pretty slick IMO, and is easily removable when I don't need it.






Oh yea... turned LOTS of heads going down the freeway! Ppl were prob saying WTF?

 

damn thats pretty hot, is that JDM? haha

 

Actually looks pretty good!

 

Nice, I was thinking about getting one. How much did it run you if you don't mind me asking?

 

Details on the bike.

 

All you need is some mud slinging tires and youll be set!

 

Looks good...

 

clean sc the rack looks good

 

I just started getting into road biking the other day. This is exactly what I needed to see How much did the rack run you if you don't mind?

 

Thanks for the comments all.

Well... here are the components, and where I got them and what I paid:

Q14 clips - craigs list $30 for all 4 (retail is $35/ box of 2, so you need 2 boxes- total $70)
Q towers - well, my father had a set that he doesn't use anymore, so these were free. (retail: $159.00)
48" Crossbars (2): Sports Chalet, 25% discount until Aug 28th? $116 for both (retail $70 ea.)
Wind Faring: Sports Chalet, $57 (Retail $69)
Viper Bicycle mount (2): Sports Chalet, $230 (Retail $139 ea.)
Lock Cores (set of 8): Sports Chalet, $71 (Retail $86)

Grand total...

Me - $504
Sukaz - $ 766 + tax

I'm sure I could have gotten all my stuff through craigs list, but since the Q towers were free, I figured what the hell, take advantage of Sports Chalet while I can.

BTW, I heard that Sports Chalet will not be carrying the Yakima line anymore, so grab what you can while they still have it, 25% off ain't too bad!

 

Nice Rack. Might need one if I get back into biking.

 

def different, clean look tho.

 

Bike is nothin' special, Trek 820, 21 speed, 19.5 in., v-brake, shimano shifters, HEAVY AS BALLZ.

I wasn't too sure I was going to get back into mountain biking when I bought it, but I am coming around to it again, so I might upgrade in the future depending.

I really like the shifters though, lever type, and have the ability to downshift 3 gears with one stroke.

 

Me- $90 for:
Qtower
Cross bar
Fairing
2 Steelhead bike racks
6 SKS Locks
$15- 2 Keys... >_>
$45- Q Clips
$60- Q Stretch Tower

:]

you should invest on a Q Stretch Tower.. it makes your setup a lot nicer and MORE solid.

but its good to see people who get YAKIMAS and actually USE IT :] instead of the typical poser! Props to you! clean ride btw! as for the fairing.. see if u can sell that and get a 48" fairing.. ;]
Gluck

 

Thanks for the info OP
