2000 Honda Civic 2 Door Bike Rack

by Rack James on June 21, 2010

2000 Honda Civic car rack bike racks with Yakima Q Towers, Q69 and Q70 Q Clips, Yakima 48 inch Cross Bars, Yakima Q Stretch Kit, wind fairing, HighRoller upright style bike rack and Yakima Steelhead fork mounted bike carrier.

Customer install photo of a roof bike rack for 2000 Honda Civic 2 Door using the Yakima Q Tower car rack system (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q69 and Q70 Q Clips, Yakima 48" Cross Bars) with the Yakima Q Stretch Kit and Yakima 44" Large Fairing. Bike Trays are the Yakima HighRoller upright style bike rack and the Yakima Steelhead fork mounted bike tray.

2 door vehicles with naked roofs, like this 2000 Honda Civic, often require the use of a stretch kit to increase the cross bar spread to at least a minimum of 24″ which is just enough to safely carry most gear (canoes excluded).  This 2000 Honda Civic 2-door bike rack system is using the Yakima Q-Tower roof rack system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q69 Q clips and Yakima Q70 Q Clips, and Yakima 48″ Cross Bars) with the Yakima Q-Stretch kit and can easily transport two bicycles.  One bike carrier is the Yakima HighRoller bike rack, which doesn’t require the removal of the front wheel.  The other bike tray is the Yakima SteelHead bike rack, a fork mounted bike tray, which does require the removal of the front wheel.  To keep things nice and quiet up there, we have the Yakima 44″ Large Fairing-Wind Deflector.  A Yakima SKS 6 pack of locks keeps everything nice and secure from theft.

Photo of a kayak roof rack on a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan using the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack System (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q31 clips and pair of 58 inch cross bars). Attached to the base rack cross bars is the Yakima BowDown folding j-cradle kayak rack and 50 inch Yakima Fairing.

This 2006 Honda Civic kayak roof rack system  is totally decked out with a Yakima Q Tower Complete Roof Rack System and Yakima BowDown J-Cradle Style Folding Kayak Rack for carrying a kayak on the roof top. The Yakima Q Towers roof rack for a 2006 Honda Civic requires the use of  Yakima Q99 Q Clips and Yakima  Q31 Q clips. Yakima 58″ load bars are called for to meet the width requirements of the 2006 Honda Civic sedan rooftop when carrying a kayak. A 6 pack of Yakima locks and lock cores secure the rack system and kayak rack onto the 2006 Honda Civic Sedan (4 locks to lock the Yakima Q tower system to the car rooftop and 2 locks to secure the Yakima BowDown Folding J-Cradle to the roof top car rack system).  The Yakima 50″ Fairing is used to cut down on noise created by wind and also helps preserve gas mileage that might be lost when transporting a kayak on top of a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan.

by Rack James on June 3, 2010

bike roof rack for a 2009 Honda Civic 4 door sedan using the Yakima Q-Tower car rack (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 and Q131 clips, and Yakima 58" crossbars), Yakima 50" Fairing and the Yakima High Roller bike rack.

Great sun-soaked photo of a 2009 Honda Civic bike roof rack system with the Yakima Q-Tower car rack system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58" crossbars) finished off with the Yakima 50" Fairing and the Yakima High Roller bike rack.

Here’s a mighty swell photograph of a 2009 Honda Civic roof rack bike carrier system decked out with the Yakima Q-Towers car rack multi-purpose base system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58″ crossbars).  Mounted upon the base rack cross bars is the Yakima High Roller upright mount bike carrier working hard to carry a BMX bike with 20″ wheels.  One of the great things about the Yakima High Roller bike rack is its ability to carry any bike, regardless of wheel size, frame configuration, brake set up, and tire width.  Heck, if your bike has two wheels, the High Roller will carry it.  Rounding out this Yakima roof top bike rack set up is the Yakima 50″ wind fairing to quiet that confounded wind noise and a set of Yakma SKS 6 pack of locks to keep any pilferin’ hoodlums at bay.

Thule 883 Glide and Set Kayak Rack and Thule 835 Hullaport Kayak Rack atttached directly to Civic Factory Rack.

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.
