Helpful Expert Reply:
I pulled up pictures of the Foray 3 and due to the angle of the top tube and the bend in it you would want to use an adapter bar like the part # UB01. Neat looking bike though.
The # UB01 will attach to the seat post and steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment point to allow the bike to be carried level.
I like the # UB01 over the Thule adapter bar as it is much easier to use and has a better price too.
