Can a non Honda bike rack attach to these, something like a yakima or thule bike carrier?

I have never done it before and my husband hasn't either, but he said he doesn't see why not. It should be just fine. :)

Not sure. They are a wide fairly thin rail, three quarters to one inch thick approximately 2.5 inches wide. Weight limit 75 pds. I would guess so but am unfamiliar with those bike racks.

I attached my kayak carriers onto it with no problem. They are not Honda racks. I don't know if this helps you or not. They are simply 2 bars that go across the top of the car.

I use the Thule cargo box and it works great. I believe the Yakima cargo box requires a different cross bar. I hope this helps.

I'm not an expert, and I don't know what carrier you are using, but this product essentially gives you a cross bar to hang a bike on a carrier, when the bike's frame otherwise will not allow (because of design, limited access to run the carrier bars through the bikes frame). If your carrier is like the Thule Vertex or Apex carriers then I would guess it should work just fine. Hope that helps!

Yes but you will need the cotter(sp?) pin to hold it in place which doesn't come with the bike rack.

"Body armor 5125 roof rack adapter pair" These will allow Thule or Yakima rails to be used on this rack, and then you can put a basket on that.

I have both a Thule bike and kayak rack mounted to my factory cross bars...the kayak rack is not an issue at all...there is a slight lean for the bike but if someone were not to be looking for the lean it wouldn't be noticeable. Also, having seen other crossbars with racks...I think the overall look is better with the factory bars (gear mounted) not to mention they are more aerodynamic...I am completely satisfied and I am an unapologetic perfectionist...hope this helps.

Yes. They are standard carriers mounted on a standard load bar. You can take them off the trailer and mount them on any load bar. You can move them around as you need. Any standard bike rack should work as far as I know.

Sorry James, I don't know the answer to that. I would recommend emailing Yakima directly. This is my set up: I have elliptical rails on my Subaru and the Yakima rack system works with it. These gunwale brackets are made to work with that system, which have round cross bars.

Won't fit. The following hitch mount racks are awesome and have a fat bike conversion kit available http://www.1upusa.com/bicycleracks.html

Yakima hitch lock is compatible with hitch pint that comes with this bike rack.

I am afraid most step through bikes will not fit this rack. There are adapters form those style frames that clam onto the seat post and handle bar to allow those style bikes to be carried on a conventional bike rack but for the most part without that they won't fit.

Yes, and make sure that they are not too wide. The brackets only accommodate about a 2 1/2 inch wide cross bar. I ended up getting trailer hitch and trailer hitch bike rack.

I do not know as Ido not have a bike rack but I do not see any reason why you couldn't attach one.

I think most Thule products are specific to the Thule load bars unless otherwise noted. This rack certainly seems to be, although there may be adapters available. For your application, you might consider a hitch rack if the vehicles you'll have will have hitches. Otherwise, you may need to look to vehicles that you can put your bike IN rather than ON. Good luck!

Yakima carries some brackets, locking and not locking designed specifically for bikes.I have carried a couple of bikes inside the basket, which works ok if you're carrying a bunch of other stuff.It's a good sturdy rack, was easy to mount and move from car to car.

Not sure. We have two Giant bikes on the rack, one composite and one aluminum. The rack carriers them nicely.

I have not tried it for that as I have a Swagman bike rack which is really great...purchased through Amazon.
