I guess I'm biased, 'cause I have the Thule rack system for 2 cars. I checked out http://www.thuleracks.com/bike_products.html and http://www.actionsportsct.com/thule5.htm and it looks like #589 and #545 would work out pretty well. The Thule bars I have extend out to the sides (can't remember the length, but the bars are model #300), so my guess is that the above bike fixtures might fit along the outside. For me the placement doesn't matter, 'cause we have a GL. :-) -Karl > I looked at the picture of the bike rack. I'm pretty sure it is a > Yakima rack.
