I got my basket tonight and will post some pics this weekend. My initial impression is that is a nice medium duty rack. I plan on putting somewhere between 100 and 150 lbs on it. It might turn out to be a nice alternative for those of us that don't have the equipment or skills to weld our own basket. It is also considerably cheaper than going with a Yakima or Thule basket. The measurements are 67.5"x39"x6". For $170 I think it was a good buy.

Yeapers about 16 to 17 sqft


Im going to make this its own unit and not sit it on the crossbars. I had a left over piece of plexiglass to make a whole other fairing and enough tubing to make two built in crossbars and other support bars. Ill do the mounts along those crossbars and drop the basket as low as I can to the roof without resting on the track itself.
