Getting Ready for Winter

All racked up







Update:

For anyone considering putting a rack on and asking the question about how much noise it introduces

W/No Fairing
-City driving I would say is fine, no real noticeable difference <50mph
-Highway driving does create quite a bit of noise >50

I picked up all the components (Yakima) at REI , had to drive an hour north up to Madison to get the Q clips since no one local carried the ones I needed and I wanted to get it installed this weekend. Was 65 today..supposed to be mid 30s- low 40s tomorrow.

I took my time to get it all installed and I don't think I will have any issues with paint damage. I do think that the weather strip will take a permenant set around the clips depending how long you keep the rack installed.
