if you have steel front forks you can get away with clamping rack supports to it, not recommended for aluminum unless it's at the fork eyelets and fork crown. If these are primarily road bikes with skinny tires I'd concentrate more on reducing total weight and moving some of it forward than increasing total weight capacity.
