How big are the bars on this roof rack? Will I be able to fit a 1.25" tube clamp on to it for an LED light bar?

They're small, the main tubes are say 3/4-1" in diameter and the smaller ones are 1/4" in diameter

Hi Lisa. My clamps are one and a half inches and they come with rubber shims for a couple different sizes

I test fitted a Thule XL which is about the same length. I had no problem adjusting the sliding clamps to the bars. Since yours has the same features I see no problem. Those clamps are meant to fit all types of bar styles and it definitly works w/ VW roof racks. The reason why I didn't buy the Force was its length, it stuck out too much in the front. I'm worried about highway speeds and the lift from all the air. Hopefully you won't run into that using the 16.

Most LED bars have adjustable mounts that slide the width of the bar to accommodate different spaced light tabs. I have a 24 inch on mine

Hello,Unfortunately no the tube is too large. This stand will hold bikes with tubes no larger that 1.5 inches. Thank you.

I am sure light bars will fit. Not sure of the measurements I only run two 6 inch round lights

It's meant to clamp on to your existing roof rack. I had a Yakima rack (2 bars going across) and this attached easily to it. It is of high quality, very sturdy. I'm very happy with it. You'd have to ask someone else though about it working with yours. Jeff H

These were specifically made for a 7/8 inch bar diameter. That's not to say you can't make them fit but it will look wrong. It will be up to you to decide whether or not it bothers you but techincally, yes, they can be made to fit. It also may require you replacing the hardware that comes with the kit with longer hardware since the one inch diameter bar you will be mounting them to will effectively spread the clamp further apart.

Measure your bars. The space between the clamp bolts is 3-1/2", so the bars can be no wider than that. If the bars are round, the clamping bolts will allow the bracket to clamp to a 1-7/8" tube. Flat bars can be 1-1/4 x 3-1/2". The carriage bolts that clamp the bracket can be exchanged for longer ones for thicker carrier bars, but these are pretty generous. I see that they bare practically giving these away. Sure beats $140 for Thule cradles!

You might need an extension piece for your hitch. It clamps onto a 2" bar. It didn't work for us because I use a sway hitch for our camper.

I don't know the exact width, but I have 2 1/4" roof rack bars, and they were too small so the u-bolts are smaller than that. I had to return them because they were too small.

It comes with a few different inserts to accommodate different sizes of lights. 1.4" seems a little large, are you sure of that measurement?

I mounted mine to the roof rack of my truck. But if you got some tube clamps I don't see why you couldn't.

Not sure of the diameter( maybe 1 1/2"), but I do know that you can mount lights to this rack. I myself have mounted 4 lights across the front and two on the back. Check out this page to see my pic. https://scontent-a-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1235893_10201480807133489_857253577_n.jpg

The rack is approx. 27". I mounted it on a 1 x2" board so I would be sure to screw into the roof joists.
