Would it be safe it put two kayaks on here with J-racks??

I am not sure why I am being asked questions about the Honda roof racks. I could not attach them to my vehicle and stated this in my review.

yes, absolutely. you can mount anywhere from 1 to 4 kayak racks on the Malone trailer. I imagine they probably have a bike rck attachment that could be used in place of one of the kayak racks.

I cant answer, i use one j hook per kayak. The straps are very long so the kayak model should not be an issue. I do not use the long straps. Gravity and the angle of the bend in the hook keep my tarpon 120 in place. Both my kayaks are 12 feet long and weigh 60-80 lbs depending on cargo. I am short 5'7 and i can lift them off the hooks easily.

I have a oversized kayak and it holds up to 500 lbs and the rack manages it quite well, so I do not see any reasons why it would not.

I really do not think it would be an issue. This kayak feels to be thicker than an above ground pool liner. If it does puncture they give patches so you can fix it.

We put 2 Yakima J-Low kayak racks on these crossbars and they handle our 16.5 ft and 14 ft kayaks with no problem.

Although our kayak rack is in the garage and rests on boards due to dirt floor, I would agree with Scott and LC. Their precautions make sense. It may be possible for the top kayak to become dislodged if it gets blown about by extra strong winds.

As you suggest, I use them to hold the hull right side up, and they work well. I would not have a lot of confidence holding a kayak sideways on these racks.

It should work fine, you may have to bend the fastening hooks or create a sling for the kayak.

I'm not sure why else you would buy it.... (and just to be clear; you do know the trailer isn't included...right?) I tow my trailer with this rack attached behind a SUV with no problems, loaded with two kayaks. It is a bit tall with the kayaks, as i can't put the trailer in a garage where the door doesn't go too high.... but there are no problems driving around with it. This rack system rocks!

No. It sounds like you are referring to "Side Rails" which run front to back of your vehicle (parallel to the Kayak). You will need Crossbars that run from Side-to-side (Perpendicular to Kayak). These racks straddle the cross bars.

Laura, the total height of rack is 18" from top to bottom of hook. And yes you can place one above the another, I have two on one wall in the garage. However, if you do that, you must leave ample room between the two kayaks. I measured mine, it was 23" from the bottom of the top rack hook to the top of the bottom rack. Also, be sure to place the brackets as seen in the picture, one must be right under the bar that supports the kayak. I hope that helps, they work for us just fine. Gary

Yes, but probably overkill. You could rig it with several 12' kayaks. Most people I see put kayaks on a roof rack. I have a 12' aluminum Starcraft with outboard on mine.

You need to buy two sets if you want to haul two kayaks. Four j hooks total.

No. The upper kayak just sits in the rack & leans against the wall. I have had no trouble with this.

You should be able to get two kayaks side-by-side.I use mine on a Ford Windstar minivan and could easily get two on my rack. Great Lakes makes a wedge for these racks that tilts them up at an angle to allow more room for more than one kayak.

I have had 14 and 16 foot kayaks on it so if it's near that I wouldn't see why not. It ready is only two foam blocks and two straps.
