    Does anyone have a bike rack I can borrow and use for my wagon? I'm looking to carry two bikes if possible.
    Thanks

    I also have a Saris Bones 2 rack. It worked great on my wagon when I was headed down to New Orleans. PM if you need it.

    if these don't work out I can snag the one at my parent's house for you. PM me and let me know. All I have here is a 1 1/4" hitch rack. Don't know if that helps you...

    I'm glad it worked well. I hope you had a great ride. Maybe we could get together and ride sometime too!

    Will it work with an aftermarket exhaust on the STi? Any pics with it installed?

    yeah if you have a hitch it will bolt up no problem. I had a 4.5" helix tip on mine and it fit no problems at all. I don't have any pics but it looks like any hitch mounted bike rack. The bikes (two) are held down very securley with this item.

    I bombed some mountain roads with two bikes attached with no issues at all.
