One thing to make a note of is that a hitch bike back is required for this set-up, but is sold separately.  The Yakima FullSwing works very well and is highly recommended to support this set-up.  It’s important to be aware of the fact that the Yakima Hitchski is not compatible with: 2 bike hitch racks, Ridgeback 2, Ridgeback 5, DoubleDown 2, DoubleDown Ace 2, HighLite 2 or 3, SpareJoe, SpareTime, or SpareRide Spare Tire Racks. This is a fantastic cost effective option for those who already have a compatible bike hitch carrier laying around. The Yakima HitchSki removes the need of a full vehicle rack system and cargo box or ski attachment, potentially saving you a bunch of money!

The Thule 847 Outrigger II Kayak / Canoe Rack Loader fits Thule square bar roof racks, and when not in use, the telescoping arm slides back inside the crossbar. Then the integrated load stop flips down and locks the Outrigger in place, so it'll never slide out unexpectedly and hit you in the head. Installing this might take all of three minutes. Pop off the end cap on your roof rack's load bar, slide the Outrigger II into the load bar flat side down, and tighten the retainer bolt with the included allen wrench. If you need to install an Outrigger on both sides of your vehicle, you may have to put one in the front crossbar and one in the rear if you have shorter cro...
