Boxster bike rack

[vwsurfbum]

Long shot i know, but has anyone got one that they want to sell?

Now using the Porker as a daily driver and rather than nicking my Leon Fr back off the wife every time i want to go somewhere with the bike, want to get one of the rear mounted ones?

Cheeps peeps.

cheers for the reply, I can do that but i ride a 29er and almost never alone, and never do i come back not muddy!
this weekend i'm riding local so will ride to and from the venue, but some races and rides will need me to pick up buddies and bikes.

nice one, i have one of those in a mates shed, has been there for years, i'll go and nab it back and try it?
forgot all about it until now.

just popped down to see my mate, he's let his garage out to a mate who has moved out of his house and filled his garage with his stuff! Grr.
Might pop to Evans over the weekend to see what theyve got?

got it for £60, not too sad, i have the carriers off my leon, so see how it goes?

[vwsurfbum]

Yep, and now i'm screwed as the porsche dealer cant supply one! Grr




this is how its packed tonight for tomorrows ride

[vwsurfbum]

OK, been using the rear mounted rack but after a trip on the motorway yesterday, i spent more time looking in the rear view mirror than infront of me!
Right as i have the bars already, any suggestions where i'd be able to source the fitting kit? Porsche discotinued them

[vwsurfbum]

i bought last week the BirdAutomotive one that mounts at the back, so now i have both!

So if anyone wants the origanal Porsche bars let me know.

Yes it is. I almost bought a Boxster instead of the Elise because of this.

If there was an Elise variant, I would snap it up like an overzealous nephew playing "snap".

There is nothing cool about a Boxster with a roof rack.

Either it goes inside, or you take your other car.

I do mainly take the Leon but for those days when she needs it because of the kiddies i use baby pig

[vwsurfbum]

sorry no pic with the MTB on it.

What's it attached to underneath?

Its got its on skid pan that fits to the already fitted engine skid plate. it makes the rest of the rack easily removed via two padlock holes

[vwsurfbum]

it does, takes 2 mins to fit and once taken off, no one knows its there.

Spyder, i have and apart from a little side to side movement its pretty solid.

My bikes are nice and light :wink: so no need to worry there, its only when i have to take a passenger i have to worry! :lol:
