I've used this system for three years now with no issues. If I had a nice paint job, I'd use an extra bandana for the rear wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks good. A simpler and maybe better idea.

It does have a few drawbacks. You need a spoiler for it to work it's best. I've run it without the spoiler, which places the rear wheel on the trunk. Over time, I think you would have marks on your paint.

Someday I'm going to fab up something for that back wheel. Or maybe, someone will?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Joseph- awesome! Also makes me wonder why I haven;t seen more pics of that nice yellow 914, I like the subtle flares. Is that an FSR? I have tuned up my bike for some spring trail riding, but haven't actually got it on the 914 yet. I have both Yakima racks and bike carrier and was planning to fit both bars and the whole rack on the rear trunk, not a cool as these other fabbed ideas but it should work. I want to make some brackets now! Gotta sign up for that community college welding class next month for sure ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You are absolutely correct! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I'm impressed. You must sell bikes for a living. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



I'm surprised one of the West coasters didn't catch it, since Amp was originated in Laguna Beach.

just consider that adding the full yak gives you the flexability to carry cargo with/instead of a bike. that's why i'm goin that route.

nice wheels!

I use a strap that is wrapped around the tail lite bracket in the trunk.


Joseph, can you post a picture of the strap wrapped around the bracket inside the trunk?

Have you given any thought of manufacturing your front fork brackets and selling to club members?

I used Yakima towers on my trunk lid for 15 years to carry my bike. I took the towers off last year and used some rubbing compound and you can't even tell there were ever there! I now carry my bikes in my 92 Trooper. The trunk lid was raised for the picture.

Dave/guys, consider this:
1- safe at any speed
2- both lids open, even with bikes/luggage.
3- zero machining

Use 2 tall, 2 standard "gutter" style Yak towers.

54" bars

I don't really care about my paint, but one could put 3m clear or other protectant down and be bullet proof.
