Why not mount a Yakima Tray & fork on an extra 914 top, there are plenty around. I plan on building one to haul my bikes to the track on..

QUOTE(racerbvd @ Oct 19 2010, 07:28 PM)  Why not mount a Yakama Tray & fork on an extra 914 top, there are plenty around. I plan on building one to haul my bikes to the track on.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I managed a bike shop for 7 years. The guys who hung racks on thin sheet metal sports cars always complained of damage to the car. More if it was a heavier mt bike. The rubber coated hooks will also start to bend the metal even at the thicker sections of the seams and edges. The paint will scuff and scratch anywhere it has contact with the bike or the rack. Even with the roof mounted racks you must be careful since a hard turn will pull the bike to the side and put a lot of strain and torque on the clips that hold the roof on. They were not designed for this so be careful. The one pictured is a Bic Sport Rack. Made in the '80, I used it weekly for 5 years. I'm glad I held on to it. it ataches quickly and can be stored in the rear trunk under the targa top. If I was buying one today, I would buy a Yakima or similar for the roof. PS- the bikes mount upside down on this rack, attached by the handlebar and seat so they can easily fit the short roof of a 914. Attached thumbnail(s)
