Folks,

I want to go with the Thule system for my 87 Brat. They make three heights - 5" (low), 8" (high) and 12" (super high) feet kits. Will the 5" work? Want to stay with the lowest height that will work. The fun tops might not clear the low mount, but that is not important to me.

Regards,

What are you trying to put on the roof? The bars will be very close together or are you just going to use 1 bar?

I used a Thule 1050 series low style and had no problems as a windsurfer.

A couple of bikes for sure. The straight section is ~19", bars will be ~17" apart, I think; for reference the Thule cross bars on my son's Nissan Altima are ~23.5" apart, and we can carry a Thule roof box with ease. Two bikes are no issues as well. Thx, aba4430
