Billy Dagwood Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Does anyone have any personal experience with any particular models? Specifically, I need one that will clear my stock rear spoiler. I was looking at these two, since I can get them comparatively inexpensively: Yakima QuickBack 2: http://www.etrailer.com/Trunk-Bike-Racks/Yakima/Y02621.html Yakima KingJoe 2: http://www.etrailer.com/Trunk-Bike-Racks/Yakima/Y02619.html One thing I'm a little concerned about with the Quickback is that I'm pretty certain it's illegal in MA to cover your license plate like that, and I'm not sure I could mount the rack any other way (this is where personal experience mounting one on a LGT would come in...). Other than that and the little extra $, it seems more solid than the KingJoe. Any advice is welcome, including recommendations on other models. Thanks!

Billy Dagwood Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 fit over stock (05-09) spoiler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golunnova Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I've used a Saris Bones 3 on a 2009 Legacy with a spoiler. The straps will clear the spoiler but you may want to place a cloth between the strap and the spoliler to prevent any scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibr_adam09 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I used a cheapie from walmart. Worked for me several times. Just add some cloth on the hooks, so you don't hurts the paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shello007 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks for the feed back guys. I am in the same predicament. Can't find a retailer who sells the Yakima Joe and although Amazon has it, kinda needed one for tomorrow's bike meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
