Bike Rack

[Recycleken]

I need to find a bike rack that will fit on the back of my 2000 NSX. I found one that required me to drill holes in my roof (not going to happen). Anyone got any ideas or suggestions. Tired of riding the same A1A road trail here in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks...

The Yakima makes a kit for the FD - no drilling or hacking

can't imagine that they won't have something that works for the NSX.

Have u looked at Thule?

Of course, the best way to carry and protect ur bike from getting hit is in the bed of a pick-up:

You could get something like this:

Could look pretty badass mounted to the trunk.

I hope our NSX isn't a garage queen. Expect scratches with any bike rack installed. Especially with the rear trunk mounted ones.

Plus too many variables that can go wrong. Your bike shifting in the freeway. Your metal pedals rotate and digs into the paint. Your pedals smash against your tail lights.

Good Luck.

i had a rack like the one above (not on nsx) and scratches or wear marks are common occurance.

Wow, I can't imagine wanting to do that. But my car isn't a daily driver. Can't you get a buddy to take your bike for you?

 

[Recycleken]

Thanks for all the help. Mine is a daily driver and I don't mind a few scratches (already got some). I am more more concerned about losing my bike on the interstate. I am a triathlete and train alone. Not many of my buddies want to get up at 5:00 am on the weekend and bike for 50 miles before breakfast.:biggrin:

I believe the one's allstar was selling in this post are gone because I was interested in one of them at the time he posted.

If I were going to do this I'd probably opt to install a small trailer hitch and then purchase a bike rack that slides into the receiver.

I wouldn't put anything on the roof.

But then, I said the same thing 6 years ago...

get a POS daily driver. you do not put a bike rack on an nsx...

 

[allstar]

To the ney sayers.... For the last 8 years I have used a bike rack on 2 different NSX's. No damage ,no problems. I carry lightweight bikes ,15~20 lbs. usually only one and uninstall the rack when not in use. I have 2 racks that I can sell. They are now out of production from the supplier. $200 +shipping Jeff

 

[allstar]

Besides .. when you show up at the local ride in your NSX, who can top that!....

 

[allstar]

Now 1 left.....

I like the idea of the trailer hitch. I will see if I can get one to fit on the NSX. I wonder what the tow capacity of the NSX would be...$200 for a used bike rack? I am surpised you sold one...

 

[BATMANs]

i did some research for a NSX hitch to no avail.

I suspect that the limited demand and no safe place to bolt it back there might be the issue.

One of his creations re-sold here in the marketplace within days of posting at around $150 used if I remember correctly so there is a market for these racks.

Definately I'd be one to throw a bike rack on a NSX and might do so in the future. Props to those who have!
