johnceggleston Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 has any one tried removing the cross bars but leaving the side rails to see if this makes a difference?? might be easy to store the cross bars in the back and mount them when needed. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister7 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thoes numbers don't suprise me. I cringe every time I put my Yakima on...the cylindrical bars are so dirty aerodynamically. It would be very interesting to see how the mpg performance would change by adding a simple fairing to the trailing edge of the bars.
