If you buy this, I would suggest that you read the instructions carefully, ask your LBS to show you how to set it up, and take a few practice rides to get a feel before you do anything substantial.

over the weekend i ended up buying a hollywood baja rack for 3 bikes and i'm satisfied with it. https://www.hollywoodracks.com/trunk.htm i would just advise that after u mount your bike on if it isn't stable. use some straps and bungee cords so the bikes don't move while driving.
