For some background info, check this thread. Since the title of that thread mentions boxes, not bikes, I'm starting a new one.

Alright, I'm examining the possibility of rigging up a fork mount carrier on the factory rack. Since I was successful in getting an officially unsupported Thule snowboard carrier on the factory bars , I figured why not try?

So, finding a holder for the front fork is easy, as snowmini points out in the other thread. I have easy access to a Yakima one where I live. What can be done about the back wheel? I spaced the load bars out at 28" on the floor, and put the front fork of my bike over the front load bar, and it put the back wheel well behind the rear load bar It looks like the back wheel would make contact with the roof of the car instead of a short tray placed on the rear load bar. I was thinking of getting a short tray Yakima rack (the Boa) and using the wheel tray from that, but I don't think that will work. Any brainstorms, anyone? Snowmini, are you out there? What did you do?
