I looked at the picture of the bike rack. I'm pretty sure it is a Yakima rack. It looks like the attachment points are made with tall rain gutter mounts. Then 2 standard bars and the bike attachment that includes the trough for the rear tire. This set up is available at many back packing type stores. REI sells it too and they have a web site (www.rei.com) that you can order from. Also Yakima (www.yakima.com) has a site too. Have fun, Bill 90 Westy Syncro Lake Tahoe ---------- > From: Karl F.
