Standing beside this awesome Honda Pilot roof rack setup for carrying skis and a bike are Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep, and Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager.
Lucky us for a recent visit from Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep. A great day was had by all at ORS Racks Direct, as we spent the day discussing all things concerning Yakima Racks… exciting new products are now available for 2010, including the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack, Yakima SpareTime spare tire mount bike rack, Yakima EvenKeel kayak rack etc. Of course, before Steve had a chance to jump back in his car and head back home, we were able to capture yet another poor quality image (due to using a Blackberry camera and foggy weather) of his sweet Honda Pilot roof rack for carrying skis and a bike. The Yakima RailGrab roof rack is mounted to the Honda Pilot factory side rails and the Yakima SkyBox LoPro ski box and Yakima SprocketRocket bike rack are attached to the RailGrab cross bars. Pictured along with Mr. Reeder is Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager, obviously involved in high-level rack science discussions.

A fine photo depicting the perfect solution for a 2005 Honda Civic roof rack for carrying a canoe on the roof top.
A picture perfect customer installation of a 2005 Honda Civic canoe roof rack system using the Yakima Q Tower car rack system as the multi-purpose base rack foundation and the Yakima Gunwale Brackets canoe rack mounted to the crossbars. Two pairs of Yakima Q112 clips are used to attach the Q Towers to the Honda Civic sedan roof top. Using this configuration for a 2005 Honda Civic car rack canoe carrier system is guaranteed to get your canoe to and from your destination safely and worry free every time.

Thule 883 Glide and Set Kayak Rack and Thule 835 Hullaport Kayak Rack atttached directly to Honda Civic Factory Rack.
Sure the Honda Civic is a smaller car, but this person has no problem carrying two kayaks directly on the factory bars. On the left is the Thule 883 Glide and Set kayak saddles and on the right is the Thule 835 Hullaport J-style kayak cradles. Also worthy of note is the receiver hitch which allows for installation of a Thule bike hitch rack for rear mounted bicycle transport. This is truly the handy work of a bonafide rack-it scientist.

Q: I’m looking into getting a 2007 Honda Accord sedan car rack system. What are the best options for me?
A: The Thule 400XT Aero, Inno INSU and Yakima Q Tower multi-purpose base rack systems will all attach directly to your vehicle’s smooth rooftop that currently has no factory rack, factory side rails, rain gutters etc. All of these options provides a sturdy base rack system capable of safely transporting all kinds of gear. You can attach gear carriers to the base rack cross bars for transporting bikes, skis-snowboards, surfboards, canoe, kayaks, luggage and much more.
