ILVMYGT Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I need to set up my Edge to carry kayaks. Has any one used the Yakima LowRider? Or should I be using the LowRider Max. Are you happy with the way they worked? Thank Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 well obviously you then have the factoy rails if all you ask for is Lowriders? if so, using them would be easy enough - 4 of those and 2 crossbars and your kayak holders. I used those on my VW for many, many years with factory rails to carry 4 bikes with never an issue. Yakima stuff s the best. I have not seen many people here reporting having the factory rails nor putting lowriders on them, but search for "Yakima", you will find existing threads - one of which has detailed photos and parts used to pull off an install with no factory rails since he has a BAMR.

EdgeNut Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We've been using the Low Riders on factory rails for our ski rack, and they work great. Very easy to take on and off. Might want to mark where you have them on the crossbars with tape or paint pen, though, since there's only one clamp that secures the rail and crossbar (makes it easier to keep things centered). Plenty secure, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
