- Comparing Bike Racks for an E-Bike with a Short Front Fender
- The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike # RKY87RR, and the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU64FR, are meant to secure the front tire as close to the frame as possible. However, the RockyMounts # RKY87RR took steps to allow bikes with fenders. It added two additional straps to that you can adjust the arm to go in front of the fender. The RockyMounts HighNoon would be a good choice and the Kuat Transfer # KU64FR would not work because it is not recommended to be used with bikes...

- Besides the integrated one key system cable lock on the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR, another key difference is that the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR has ratcheting straps where the bike attaches instead of the fixed hole fittings on the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT. The ratcheting straps allow for a more snug, secure fit than the cradles on the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT.
With that being said, I recommend the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT...

- According to Curt, the # C67JR Class III hitch fits all models of the 2021 Subaru Legacy, including the Premium and Sport. The only near-plug and play trailer wiring harness available would be the Curt # C79CR which does require that a circuit be ran to the battery positive terminal using the included wire, hardware and inline fuse. I'll link to the installation instructions for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness, as well as to a help article that addresses how to run the trailer...

- Normally when there is a choice between a powered converter and a non-powered converter I go with the powered converter. The reason is that the powered converter, in this case # 118511, gets most of the power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery. This protects the vehicle wiring and any potential electrical problems that could occur should there be a short on the trailer wiring.
Either harness will work for you but the little extra effort needed to route and connect the power...

- The Yakima and Thule roof rack systems you compare, the Yakima RailGrab (parts # Y00408 and Y00138) and the Thule Specialty Railing Rack (parts # TH440 and THSR2) differ in the type of roof side rail to which they can attach.
For your 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon the Yakima RailGrab system is the correct fit. The Thule system requires raised rails and so is not a fit for your Legacy GT wagon with flush-mounted rails.
The Yakima RailGrab rack does not include locks but these are available...

- The main difference between the Swagman Contour Rooftop Kayak Carrier System part # S65148 and the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier System part # MPG114MD is that the Malone option will allow for the use of the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module part # MPG351XL which aids in loading. They are essentially the same carrier aside from this aspect. Therefore, if you need help with loading I would go with the Malone system but if not the Swagman system will work fine for you.
They will both...

- We generally always recommend the higher-capacity hitch option when the option does exist, as it does for your 2005 Subaru Legacy which can be fitted with either a 1-1/4-inch Class II or a 2-inch Class III hitch. There will be very slightly more ground-to-hitch space with the smaller hitch tube but this will be only one of many factors that affect your actual ground clearance. Passengers, cargo, tire tread depth and inflation pressure also can affect your actual clearance as much as your...

- The trailer hitch that I recommend you use for carrying a bike rack with your 2014 Subaru Legacy is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7205 because the crosstube is hidden which means you only see the hitch receiver and it gives you a really clean look. If you'd rather go with a trailer hitch that is a little more cost-effective then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75673 because it is a little easier to install than the Curt # C13158. Please note that the EcoHitch is the only...
