Will it hold a 6 ½" thick & 33" wide surfski on a 2003 Honda Odyssey with cross bars? Will I need long bolt kit or anything else to make it work?

Mine holds two 33 inch wide SUPs on the factory cross bars of an Acura MDX but is is a very tight fit due to the cross bar width. On my 2004 Honda CRV I had to replace the factory cross bars with Yakima bars to make it fit. The units reduct the width 3 to 4 inches total so measure you crossbars and subtract the 3 to 4 inches. Also I did not need the longer bolts. Lastly the racks work great. I have used many other types of racks for surfboards and these are by far my favorite so far. The only thing are the pads are too narrow and made for round not arrow bars

Cutting it close, I have a 34" x ~3" paddle board and had to extend the ends on my cross bars past the recommended limits for my civic for these to be able to lock onto the paddle board.

6 1/2" thickness won't be a problem, but the 33" wide might present an issue. My Starboard is 30" wide and barely fits our forester. I think we had about an inch total width clearance when we had it on the highlander. You might want to measure the width from the inside of your vertical bars and subtract about a 1/2" on both sides because the brackets on the rack extend out about 1/2" each side. If you are still within a 33" measurement, then you should be fine.

This windshield has two Allen head mounts that clamp to your handlebars. As long as you have room on your bars you should be good.

Yes that will work on this bike. I do not have a measurement but these bars will extend just outside of the oem floodboards. I hope this helps out.

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

It's probably too wide, but might just barely fit that space. I have a Suzuki SV650S, and resolved the problem by disassembling the handlebar mount (eliminating the u-clamp)and drilling 2 holes thru the aluminum plate which houses the ignition switch and spans the two forks. I then attached the mount to the plate using two 1.5" screws, lock washers and nuts. Works great, and takes up less space. Did the same thing on a friend's GSXR600. Mount it as far left or right on the plate as possible, so as not to block the gauges. Measure twice, drill once. :)

It is pretty big so unless you have a ton I wouldn't recommend it. And also not sure how you would be able to keep the s hooks on the bars.

My bike doesn't have those kind of handlebars, but it has many cables that run along the handlebars. The mount for the bag is about 2" wide and 1/2" deep so it holds the bag away from the handlebars about 1/2" which allows plenty of room for the cables to run in between the bag and the handlebars. I would expect the bag to work fine with your cables & handlebars. I love mine, and works well.

Yes u can use the 6foot bar... I highly recommend this product. I can send u pics of how I have my garage set up w the valor rack

It should come with a long U bolt to make it work with a wider frame. I had to mWeld and make a longer mount in that area because of the length

I would think it dependent on a couple of factors. The biggest is what vehicle you will be mounting the carrier on. On my Rav4, I have about 15 inches between the external spare and the outer bike mounts (when moved to the end of the carrier arms). That would be insufficient to handle the width of a Catrike (~32 inches). If I didn't have the external spare, it would be feasible. The next questions would include whether it would fit in the carrier mounts and whether it would work with the anti-sway mount. I hope this helps.

I have an epic specialized 2004 with oversized down tube. It fits fine. maybe you can check the specs on my bike for the exact measure I don't have time right now to look it up. The rack comes with two pieces of rubber I use the smaller one, It is about 2mm thick and I think there was even a little room to go bigger. There is also a wider piece of rubber, maybe 5mm thick, but I don't use that cause then the clamp doesn't fit. Hopes this helps sorry for the rushed answer...nm the post dimention is 30.9mm

Hi, This bike carrier will fit on most factory crossbars. The dimensions of the mounting hardware on this bike carrier will accomodate approximately 4 inches of width horizontally and 2 inches of height vertically with regards to a cross bar.

I've only used it for a kayak rack, but it was a tight fit. All i can say is you'll need a different bike rack, or maybe you can get a longer ubolt that fits the rack at a hardware store.

That depends on the diameter of your bar clamp: I'd recommend buying spacers. (this handlebar is thinner/intended for motorcycles)

If your cross bars are less than 3 to 3.5 inches wide it will fit without modification. If they are wider than 3.5 inches you will have to make new brackets to attach to the cross bar. I used 1 inch wide flat bar steel and 2 inch long bolts to mount it to my coross bars. Total cost was about $30.00 and took about 3 hours to fabricate.

I asked the original question, and found that the cables were too short (about 48") to install on my LWB recumbent bicycle with high rise handlebars. I purchased the extra long cable kit (about 64"), and it was plenty long. The XL kit is linked below. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CJZ08U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3QQJCGAGF5OSU&coliid=I34N0Y2A3UPBAA

Okay, I can't answer for that particular rack, you would have to check the length of the bars against the width of your rack.I *can* say that there was *not* a great deal of excess length, and that's just how I wanted it!!The other thing I can state is that the straps for strapping down a canoe or other object, are MUCH more effective than any other mounting straps that I have every used!! I was really impressed... I probably could get away without tying down the bow and stern, though I still tie down the bow for my own re-assurance.
