LOL!! I do enjoy but yes the bike looks monstrous.
haha i love it lol. bet you get some looks with that on top lol
You don't park the Fit in the garage, do you? I would fail myself there guaranteed. Oh, @!#$, a bike on my roof.
Around town no looks, doing 75-80 on the highway with the bike on top got some looks LOL.
And yes its in the garage every night, I'm more concerned about forgetting and trying to get in a parking garage or a drive through, that wont end well.
At least now you can carry your bike and 3 of your best gay mountain-biking buddies at the same time
.
Awww, I looked at the list hoping to see "K20" somehwere, but was let down. Does look good though, even if the bike looks out of proportion on a tiny car like that
. How hard was the install? I've had to put racks on popup campers and its kind of a PITA. I think a car would be much easier with no drilling and stuff.

ALL MOTOR
Nice!
I have a Thule roof rack on my xB and love it.
Except, I would like to get the 594 sidearm instead of my 516-Prolouge.
It is a PITA having to always take your wheel off to put your bike on the rack.
Looks funny with the bike on the roof and the proportions of size messing with your brain....haha I like it though

LOL no engine swaps, infact I even took the intake off to sell it, no point in keeping it, I'd rather have some extra money in my pocket. Other then suspension its stock performance wise. I think it looks so strange becasue almost every roof mounted carrier requires pulling the front wheel off, I got this one because you don't have to pull the wheel. It takes literally 10 seconds to get it on or off. Install was stupid simple. You get all the pieces, put them all together, no tools required. You measure everythign out and it clips into place and you tighten it down. Once its all on and set up they gives you stickers to mark the door jambs where the bars go so once you did the initial install and you mark it its a few minuet job to completely remove or reinstall all of it. I found out the roof racks will survive the car wash at work so I just leave them on.
Never been a fan of the Fits until I saw more of yours, starting to dig them.
Cool man. Refreshing mods.
Best FiT ever in my book. Now just get a better bike. My metallic blue Cannondale would match great.
It would be hard (very expensive) to upgrade from my 09 Gary Fisher Marlin Disc. You can keep your Cannondale
now its ok for the wheels to be on haha. and hopefully the price tag of the big will remind you its up there and be like, oh cant go in there hang on... and yes, you can fit a lot in there haha
Looks good...
just make sure to check your bike on every trip...ive seen atleast 2 fly off cars when they are mounted on the roofs.....funny but sad at the same time lol.
Francis: Today's my birthday and my father says I can have anything I want.
Pee-wee: Good for you and your father.
Francis: So guess what I want.
Pee-wee: A new brain?
Francis: No. Your bike!
