Anyone use a bike rack on thier S2k?

Looking for feedback on trunk mounted carriers (saris Bones, Thule, etc...) or if putting on a trailer hitch is an option?

Thanks

I'd be wary of a trunk mounted unit on the S trunk since it seems to be pretty thin and dings easily.

there is a nice trailer hitch that is made for our car, do a search. i made a custom hitch for my 928 years ago to pull my jet ski. of course the porsche had more than ample torque to pull a ship

DO NOT put a bones rack on the trunk!

I desperately wanted to do this myself (I'm a regular mountain biker Spring-Fall) and then found in the OEM Manual instructions to not use a bicycle rack on the car. Technically, you shouldn't use the hitch either but can probably get away with it.

The trunk is was to flimsy to support a bike rack. Rooftop options are no looking good either ;-)

Thule made a rack that slides into a trailer hitch.

You could get the Delan hitch and use the Thule rack!

Here's a thread that talks about the hitch.

Hitch

It covers a couple different ones.

Enjoy

PM Nickfromny.....he has the hitch AND Thule bike rack. I'm sure he has some good feedback.
