Question...does any one know of a universal or simple easy bike rack for the 1st gen 7s? I did a little research and it looks like they only offer the roof type racks. I was thinking cant I get a universal trunk mount type of rack from Target or Sport Chalet or something and hang over the rear bumper and close the glass hatch?

I dont really want a roof mount system. I want something super easy that I can slap on, throw my cruiser on it and head to the beach or wherever and then slap it off.

Anyone have any reccos on bike racks?

 

hmm trying to haul stuff or on a rx7 doesnt work well..

 

we hauled a Cosmos RE motor in the back of a first gen

 

Thule makes a base that is compatible w/ the RX7.

yeah I saw those...and they recco only roof mount which I do not want. Hmm...anyone else use some sort of bike rack?

Currently I just toss it in my hatch...but like I said I want a much more proper way to transport the bike.

 

you could always make something If you got the supplies

 

...or put a hitch on the car.

 

or buy a cavalier or something lol

 

you could always do a trailer hitch rack...

 

ive fit two bikes INSIDE my rx7, a big 62cm and a 54cm, with two passengers and weekend bags. it was tight, but i didnt damage any trim either...
ive also been looking for a rack, my saris bones doesnt fit...

 

Roof Rack

I have an older roof rack for a 1st gen that I will sell.
Even has locks built in.
PM me if interested and I will get pics. I'm never gonna get around to using it now that I have two little ones (well one on the way). It is still packed up from buying it from the last owner.

$150 shipped

 

I have a saris bones 3 and the thing is bad ***! It will hold 3 bikes but only fits 2 when on my rx7. It reconfigures for any car (I use it on my xterra too) and has 2 top, 2 bottom and 2 side straps with wide clips. It doesnt move at all on the car so it has never jacked my (crappy anyways) paint. The only thing I worry about is cooking my tires that hang right by the exhaust! I think I paid like $115 on sale locally...

I tried to fit my bones on my '7 and no go. maybe im missing something?

 

Hey - why couldnt you guys get it to fit? I position it all on the glass with the arms hanging over the bumper. 2 bikes hang down and dont hit the bumper. Maybe I'll go throw it on and take a picture....

 

I say junk that rack bullshit idea and just bring some tools so you can take apart that bike and stash it behind the seats. Simple and wont cost you a dime. besides, having that bike 24/7 is an insurance that you will make it home since GSL-SE's are junks. lol

 

I've always wondered if anyone has brought this up before........

 

I just wonder if his car is that unreliable that he need to have a backup....
