Default Bike Racks for s2k's

I've looked but i havent found anything. Do you guys know where i can find bike racks that would attached to either our trunk or somehow on the roof. Im getting my GF a bike as a gift and thought i'd get myself one too while im at it. She has a SUV so they fit in hers but i just think if be bad ass to take some top down rides to the beach and then get off and use the bikes.

It's a pretty common question, and it's been covered several times if you do a search.

Seems like the best option is to get the Chase trailer hitch and a hitch-mounted bike rach. The other ones all tend to scuff the paint.

The hitch hides quite well underneath and you really don't even notice it. Quite stealth.

pay to play, my friend

You can always get a trunk-mounted one that straps on and rests on the bumper and the top of the trunk. But it'll scuff your paint.

yeah your right. I will most likely end up doing it since it is a good idea. Plus i could use that hitch for other reasons.

There ya go You can always tow any number of other things like small trailers with track wheels and tools for lapping days, or even small box or utility trailers as needed.

I debated getting a trailer a few years back for my sea doo, but ended up never needing to move it around.

If money is an issue, you can always make a hitch....
