Default Bike Rack?

Does anyone know if there's a manufacture that makes bike racks for my car?

Check the paint on the back of those 911s. Bike racks are scratches waiting to happen.

PM a guy on this forum called "Oversteer". His brother makes a awesome trailer hitch that is custom made for the S2k & powder coated. It attaches & removes with a simple pin system. You can plug a bike holder into the hitch. Great Stuff

i have been thinking of a bike rack as well. the best solution that i can find is a trailer hitch and then buy the bike holder that slides into the recever. only thing thing that sucks is all of the added weight from the trailer hitch.
so it is either the weight or paint

jimbo69ny,

With Oversteer trailer hitch you can put it on and take it back off in a matter of minutes !!! So, you don't always have the weight issue. It's truly a work of art!

I've got an S and a jet ski and there's no way in h@@@ll I would ever, ever consider towing my ski w/ the S. If submerging your rear end higher than the back corner of the door to launch the ski isn't enough, imagine our high-reving, low torque motor and next-to-no-weight backend trying to pull a ski out of the water on a slimy boat ramp. I shudder just thinking about it.

I use to work in the bike industry and I purchased a rack that is specifically made for expensive cars that works similar to the receiver hitch type. It consists of a steel license plate with a small receiver hitch on it. You mount it behind the license plate and when you remove the rack you only see the small receiver hitch. Once installed the only thing that touches the car is 1 strap that attaches to the trunk (didn't scratch)
