Is anyone runing a thule rack on there evo x and if yes can you send me the part number of the brackets and stuff really want to order one on monday.
I believe yakima makes one as well but i really want a thule rack, can someone please help me.
Thanks

 

Yes I run one it is so nice. Great fitment. I have mine fore sale it is 2 months old. I bought a truck so I don't need my rack anymore pm me. If interested.

 

Sup man. I have a 2010 WW gsr and I just installed a brand new THULE rack last week. I have all the part numbers you will need, but I'm at work. Ill reply later tonight with the numbers.

Btw, imo, I perfer THULE over YAKIMA. I love the way THULE looks with the fairing on. Great choice on THULE !!

 

I believe it's the 480r rapid traverse foot pack. The kit is kit1477. Load bars there's two options but I recommend the rapid load aero rb53 and the bar spread is 28...I stopped working with Thule products about 2 years ago but I still use them they are quality and carry a limited lifetime guarantee just put one on my 8 this season but I'm getting a x now and it's not compatable

 

I'll be waiting for your post as well. I'm interested. Post pics as well if you could, ty

 

I only have this picture from my iphone but heres my setup.... Might be difficult to see since I have a 3M DI-NOC roof overlay. Also, I dont have pics of my car with my road bicycle on but I'll try to get some tommorow.



You will need the following parts...(btw, these are the current 2011 parts I ordered out of the THULE catalog.)


Traverse 480 - I believe this mount kit only accepts square tubing load bars. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong...


LB50 - These are the load bars. Mine are the square tubing type. There are other styles but I wanted to keep everything black so I got these instead of the silver aero bars.


KIT 1477 - This is a installation kit I believe..

Last but not least... You will need to find any type of "carrier" to suit your need (ie: bikes, snowboard, kayaks, etc). I have 1 bike carrier as you can see. It can hold up to 4 bikes if you stagger them.

This is a pretty basic setup. You can always opt for different mounts and different load bars. Also, the front fairing is an add on for around 80-90 bucks. I also purchased 8 locks since I dont want anyone trying to steal my rack. You dont have to buy 8 locks though...4 locks is good enough.

Good luck man ! Install took me around 1-1.5 hours with two people. Remember to measure correctly with the provided measuring tape in the kit !!

 

That is great! Thank you for sharing as I am looking to do the same.

 

Np!

 

your the best man thank you so much i think im going with the same set up as you i dont like the other bars the oval type in silver color i do like the square black more, again thank you so much. I will get pics of my car soon.

 

I put a Thule rack on my other car. They are great. Here's a picture:
