Few pics with towbar bike rack fitted

Just in case anyone considering this option here are a few pics of my car with witter zx300 bike rack fitted to the rear. Its solid as a rock but i need to take the car back to the tow bar fitters as i really think they should have cut a few mm out of the bumper when fitting it.

RE: Few pics with towbar bike rack fitted

Geeze those are very big racks. I much prefer the roof mounted option. Is that a anthem I see ???
My bad, just saw the first pic and noticed it was a Trance. Nice, I have a 2010 Trance, awesome bikes, mine has been through heaps without issue.

roof mounted option means more chance of damaging the car and more hassle getting them on and off. Had a roof mounted rack on my partners juke and it was a pain in the ass to get bikes on and off.

You are close with the anthem, its a trance.

Can I ask which brand you chose for your bar? Thule?

RE: Few pics with towbar bike rack fitted

It looks a good fit. I was thinking of one for mine until a guy I know who is a mountain bike downhill racer said he always puts his bike in the car now! He dumped his rack after someone followed him home from a meeting once and that night they broke in and stole his bike! He knew this was the case as apparently amongst his fellow racers this was a thing that had been happening at race meetings that month!
