TYPE911

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is using a Thule rack or Yakima rack to carry bikes on a Targa.
The Thule website specifies that their rack sys. will work on a Targa. Either one of these products will work on a coupe, how about a Targa?

I have an 82 911sc Targa that is a low-mileage,
mint cond. car. NOT something I would ever consider putting a bike rack on. I have a Landcruiser & a Tahoe that is the normal bike hauler. That said, I travel to 15-20 bike races a year, meanwhile the 911 sits in the garage. So I thought if there is a way to combine my bike racing & the 911 it would be cool.
I read over on the 964 board, Jeff Curtis is using a Yakima rack on his coupe.
I have heard from others using a rack that mounts to the bumper. Iam not interested in that method.
Anyone out there with a Targa running a Yakima or Thule rack with success ???

thanks,

Chris, Dont use a rack on my targa but here in SB I have seen plenty of '74 and later 911s using Thule on their targas for bikes, surfboards and even the occasional kayak. Havent seen any fall off yet.

I would use the J bar rack that is available in Performance Products. I have used one for 2 911's and 964, it worked great! The product holds 2 bikes <has locks> and the j bar will fit under your hood. <when not used>

Works allot like a trailor hitch but is installed on your license plate.

Cheers
