GeoffM : 1993 Accord 10th Anniversary

[GeoffM]

I just ordered a bike attachment. I can't wait for it to get here! I already have a few routes planned. I'm looking forward to doing 70 miles!

Downside: I saw that it was no longer on Amazon, so I went elsewhere to buy it. As soon as I submitted my order, I went over the the Yakima site to bask in my newly purchased glory. Only to find that there's a RECALL on the thing I just bought! Fine by me though, it sounds like the less awesome models are being recalled and more awesome models sent out in their place.

Here's the chart. Easiest thing to read ever?

[GeoffM]

I'm not. I actually completely forgot about it this past week
I'll set a reminder and head up to the junkyard in the morning.

the mismatch is not bad at all. im at the library now, but when my home computer gets fixed ill post up pics of my "mismatch".

if youre in a rush to buy, take my word and get the 9091s

[GeoffM]

Thanks.
A little bit of both. Currently it's sitting next to me, because I'm all about the mpgs. The main reason it's not on the car is because it's not very useful right now. That's a kayak holder attached to it, but nobody will sell me a kayak. I've been trying to find a used bike holder, and I've had no luck. I may just bite the bullet and buy one new.

Your best bet is to buy used. Check Craigslist and eBay. Remember that craigslist folks can always be talked down. I got that rack for $150. New? About $700. I had to buy the Q clips new though, so another $70. And the straps for the kayak holder were missing, that added another $60. I'm likely going to buy the frontloader model for my bike, so about $140.

MAKE SURE YOU BUY LOCKS. I would never feel safe driving around with all that attached if it wasn't locked to my roof.

Roof Rack Looks Great .

I've been on the look out for one myself.

Do you actually use it or did you get it for more visual ?

[Tippey764]

Never tried it so i don't know, i just know that they are different

[GeoffM]

How bad is the mismatch?

[Tippey764]

They don't properly match the contour of the bumper right.

[Pali_Mo]

yes they are different. the 90-91 say honda on them. i JUST NOW installed some 90-91s on my 92. they fit great and the holes all line up. plus i painted the letters on mine white, so they look great. if i were u, id go with the 9091's no matter what

[GeoffM]

9091 is different than 9293?

[Tippey764]

But they are...

and no they can't fit the back lol,

[GeoffM]

You dont have to choose. mudflaps should cost you about 5 bucks from the junkyard. thats how much i paid for a complete set for mine, and then found out my car already has fronts

and those requirements are good words to live by

Double quotes!?!?!?!?? Wha??????
Thanks. I try to get my friends to follow suit, but they either don't care about their cars or they catch the ricer bug.
MOPAR serpentine belts FTW!

front mudflaps are standard on the cb7

Expect when they're not O.o

Fronts can be affixed to the back?

[Tippey764]

I've been torn between the rack and mudflaps.


They look cool, serve a purpose, and are OEM. Those are actually my requirements for any add-ons.

I'm definitely going to try!
I've never really bothered to look for the mudflaps. They always fall to the back of the queue when I find something cool, like heated mirrors!

I've seen a few EXs, but the 2 things that are stopping me are:
Never bring a jack, and don't really want to get down in the dirt.
My junkyards are ALWAYS overpriced. I can't imagine what they'd want for one. It'll likely end up costing less to buy new.
