Take the bolts off that are currently holding your tow hooks. Position the bike rack, they give you NEW longer bolts, bolt tow hooks and bike rack ON!
Al says very sturdy and the bikes when mounted and with a few bungy cords don't move much up there.
The bikes were not dirty when we got here and we ran one day in some rain. We did not even wash them, just took em off the bike rack and started riding! (that really surprised us, under other weather conditions, I would bet that might change!
)
Did find that you need to have those chains well lubed, the rain started rusting them real fast.
Looking over the bikes was a non issue after just a few miles. And, no, the engine temp did not go up, last summer in some pretty decent heat (95 in Michigan is decent heat) it might have gone up a couple of degrees. Does not seem to affect cooling and radiator.
