Would these mount better to a round or square bar? Bar is 1 1/4".

Will work on both, I have square on my jeep, my wife has oval on her Subaru both work fine

I don't think it matters, I have them on the Thule pickup rack with large oval bars with no problems.

They are designed to work with either. That is an unusually large diameter for a roof rack, you may need to get longer bolts

Mine wer mounted on a set of factory flat bars and work perfectly. I think you would have to try Malones Web site for a better answer.

Thanks for the email.This will only fit bars up to 1 1/4" diameter and will not work on 1 1/2" diameter bars.Jim

They fit nicely on my Suburu's flat blade -like cross bars. They would not do well on the round bars.

The mount fits very nicely on the standard Yakima round cross bar. I measured the diameter of the cross bar and it appears to be approx. 1 1/8" I am not familiar with other cross bars that are not square or round therefore I'm not sure my answer is helpful. The directions indicate the mount is for crossbars that are either round or square. I can say that I like this mount very very much and the only drawback is that is does reduce my gas mileage slightly by having the bike mounted on the roof. I also carry a canoe on top that affects the mileage as well.

Depends on how much space you have. These may be to large for a bull bar. See how many inches the bull bar has between the mount and the top bar.

These are for 1-1/4'' thick highway bars. I'm sure they would work with the proper bar.

If you pack enough rubber and tighten it it should mount a square/oval shaped bar, but of course not as well as it would a circular bar.Just make sure that the diameter of your bar is small enough to fit into the clenching part of the mount. My bar is circular and I had to use rubber since the bar was too small and the mount was too loose on it.

This is a great product for squared off rails, I have to agree with the other answers that it would be unstable on a round rail without modification. Too bad.

I'm not sure they will fit the bar ends with a larger than 1" diameter. Riders with bar end weights have mounted these mirrors inboard of the bar end so that they mount to the handlebar instead of the bar end. Hope this is of some help.

Lanae,My bars are 2-3/4" wide. You should have no problem with the Thule mounts

I would say they will mount up to a 1" pipe or tubing, no larger. They have a V notch made into the base of them.But a really nice set.You could also fabricate a flat plate for mounting with bolts if able.

I don't think they will work on a square bar. I went from round bar to flattish and they work fine on flattish bars.

No! You need to get this set ( Yakima Snap Round/Square - Set of 4 ) I purchased the set you are looking at and they didn't fit the rectangular bar. Also, go to your local hardware store and pick up some rust resistance hardware. I opted to do away with the Yakima quick access hardware and installed locknuts. A little extra theft protection. I carry a ratchet in the truck.

If you have 1/4" end (which you should) then yes. 1/4" is universal to these applications

This type of 1/4 round is typically used for radius applications(Very flexible),standard 1/4 round might work better.

No! They only fit the new style hangers that are flat. They do sell the ones for 1/4" round, keep looking.

They will work best with an oval shaped bar. The mounting brackets are designed for various shaped bars but will slide with a round Yakima bar.
