Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 08-28-2010 Sure why not... i've been on and off about this for quite some time now, so i've been researching and picked up a kit. Best part of this basket is that when I pick up bike racks in the future I can mount them to the basket. Anyone else running roof rack systems? RE: Roof Rack? - Focus man. Focus. - 08-28-2010 Very nice. I was thinking of getting the exact same setup. Do you have any side shots so I can see the profile? Where did you get it and how much? RE: Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 08-28-2010 That's the only side shot I have as of yet, but the Thule 480R brackets are very flush, not much clip showing which is the look I was after. Not sure if i'm keeping the basket on after I need it for the long weekend or not, but the rails will stay on. I'll take some side shots tomorrow and post them up for ya. I got the system from RackAttack in Mississauga. A co-worker has picked up a few systems for his rides and recommended them to me, and from what i've priced locally they were the most reasonable/realistic. RE: Roof Rack? - Focus man. Focus. - 08-28-2010 It looks really large. How far back does it go, and will it interfear with the hatch? Is that the MOAB? RE: Roof Rack? - castone - 08-28-2010 Looks great! As soon as I can find a Kona rack for my ZX3 I'm going to be building a custom basket. RE: Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 08-29-2010 Thanks! Ya it's the MOAB, It's much larger than I anticipated but gives you a very usable space. There are smaller alternatives from other companies, but for it's purpose why go smaller? It doesn't interfere whatsoever with the hatch, and I have room to add the extension kit if i'd really like and the trunk would still open. (not gonna happen though lol, it's big enough) RE: Roof Rack? - WuNgUnSVT - 08-29-2010 I'm using the Kona... RE: Roof Rack? - Jmountney1 - 08-30-2010 i want your kona ^^^^^ RE: Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 08-30-2010 Very nice, the Kona system looks awesome on the two door model! Anywho, here's a couple other shots including a side shot to show the height. RE: Roof Rack? - Focus man. Focus. - 08-30-2010 Looks really good in those shots. I am guessing when I say you can place it anywhere you like front to back on the roof. Yes? RE: Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 08-30-2010 From what the guys at RackAttack told me, the system is very flexible on basket placement. The mounting dimensions are for the engineered max strength of the bars and car's structural design, and that is basically what I have it setup for now. RE: Roof Rack? - Jmountney1 - 08-30-2010 [/quote] your focus is hott with the rack RE: Roof Rack? - Focus man. Focus. - 08-30-2010 Very cool. I would put the rack further back if I got one. RE: Roof Rack? - SL8RZZX3 - 09-12-2010 I'm digging the Rack...... not so much the MOAB I'll be picking one up soon, but plan on getting a torpedo like WungunSVT's RE: Roof Rack? - euro_zx5 - 09-12-2010 Thanks. Ya the MOAB's large, but I love it's ability to hold other carriers. RE: Roof Rack? - NOS2Go4Me - 09-13-2010 I like your Focus's rack.
