    You mean like a bumper of sorts? ...or like a skid plate down low on the rear?

    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.

    Wow!

    I think I may need to trade in current rack for one of these if it will work with Yakima attachments.

    Very nice.

    Perfect it and I will be sending you some money. I would probably have mine powder coated orange to match my VX after I get mine repainted.

    Exclamation

    I'm placing a metal order today and I'm getting some 1 1/8" stainless thick wall tubing. I'll make another proto out of that and see how it looks.

    With the 1 1/8" diameter tubing, all the Yakima accessories should go on. Only one thing, my racks are permanently welded to the mount. Would you still be able to attach accessories or do they need to be slid on from one end ????

    Yup, they are "C" shaped, so they have an open end that can be slid over the bar easlily.

    I wonder what the largest diameter the u-joint straps are made to fit for an option to attach a rack or accessories.
