Seeing that this fits Yakama bars, does anyone know of a reason that I couldn't use this with a Yakama Rack and Roll trailer that also has bars?

As long as the bars are round you should be able to do that. I have a micro-trailer (SportsRig) with round bars and use the brackets for my large tandem kayaks.

Not sure why not. The load stop option gives a higher side support, but that can be a barrier if your boat has lots of tumblehome.

Should work fine. I use mine on a trailer but using the bars from my roof rack

The brackets fit the standard round bars. If your trailer uses the standard roof bars. You're good to go.

It likely would. We have it on round Yakima bars, so I can't say for sure but the design looks like it would work. I know it fits on whispbars also. In addition, sport rack is made by Thule if that means anything

I do not use it with the 2" adapter, but I will assume that it is very much solid, this yakima rack is a very good rack, the only thing that is missing is a part that I designed for this hitch that align the safety pin to the car hitch making it easy to install, this unit is not that light, so lifting it and hooking it to insert the pin it is a problem without a marker to install the safety pin. the rest it is a very good unit.JC

I have one of these racks and love it. I have it on my Yukon. I don't think there is enough room for a tire.

I'm not sure if it's the rack or all the stuff in the rack. The only problem I've had was the cheap bolts they give you to attach the mount to the roll bar. It broke and I haven't been able to fish the one end out of the roll cage.

Measure the width of your Kayaks. That is the number you should use. The base of these racks don't take up much room on your crossbars. It more depends on how long your crossbars are and how wide your yaks measure. BTW, these are super easy to use and are very stable!

I know they fit Thule square crossbars; (they work great w/ mine). They also supposedly work w/ Yakima round bars and aero-style bars. The brackets are heavy duty and a universal shape to accommodate different shaped crossbars. I am very happy with the Malone carriers; got 2 sets last year and hauled 2 kayaks everywhere. Rock solid carriers.

We too have a wide heavy kayak...we tried rack but since our vehicle had unique existing roof bars, this unit wasn't ideal and we ended up going the more traditional folding J mounts.

Howdy there, so I don't see why not.. The box has adjustable arms that tighten to the crossbar. If it's not tight enough, a little utility pipe foam, (for keeping household pipes warm). Just don't tighten the adjustment to tight, as they are a "bear", to remove if the "nut" gets stripped. I suggested to yakama, that this could be an issue in the future for others. . They are addressing it. So hopefully you get NEW adjustment adapters... Good luck..

Yes, but not sure if per Thule/Yakima. I have the Toyota factory roof rack, they are kept in stowed position/side rails, then I mounted Yakima mounts w/ crossbars (purchased used) so not sure if these were designed for it. They barely bite around the factory rail, but do work. You will need to measure the diameter to see. Similar to the Thule Crossroad or Yakima Railgrab. It was annoying to find the factory rails when are too big (wide oval/elliptical shape) for most Thule/Yakima Accessories, like my upright bike racks. All is well now with the Yakima crossbars.

I don't see why not. I would imagine the Folding Downloader kayak holder would fit on a Malone universal roof rack. One pair of kayak holders to one kayak. If you're not convinced with my answer. Please call Malone to double check. I hope I answer your question.

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

We have a Yakima rack system on our vehicle with round bars and they work. We have rectangular bars on a trailer that we also use to haul them. The racks work even better on the rectangular bars. I think they are universal and should work fine for you.

I bought the Yakima RailGrab kit. The clamping arms are adjustable, so they're able to clamp onto the 2" bars of the rack. Make sure you get the 66" bars. Great rack though, and FYI if you have a soft top, mount the rear bar light tabs outward. Body Armor says they can go either way, but the top will get caught (and possibly rip) with the light tabs pointed inward. And you'll have to disassemble almost completely to get it turned back around. Enjoy!Edit: You don't need the Body Armor rack adapters if you go the RailGrab route. It'll mount directly to the 5125 rack.

I honestly do not know for sure, but I doubt it will work with your Yakima rack. Rarely do the parts on Thule and Yakima work together.The thule bar is a flat aerodynamic bar (not sure about the yakima as my old yakima rack had round bars), and the board holder attaches to the flat bar.

No Idea, It wasn't designed for my unit a 225 Yami with a special foot. I was able to cut open back side and get it to over my skeg. Looks fine.

They're site says it fits most styles, but a lot of AeroBar style crossbars users complain that it doesn't have a proper fit and seemed loose. It might be user error, but I'm not sure because I've never this rack on one. Good luck.
