We do have a roof rack option for your 1981 Honda Prelude!
The only roof rack that will fit your Prelude is the SeaSucker Roof Rack which comes with 48" Monkey Bars and 6 vacuum cups, part # 298-SX6000B.
Either option has a 150 lb weight capacity but that has more to do with the strength of the crossbars and your vehicle than it does the vacuum cups. The vacuum cups actually have a pull strength rating of 210 lbs each. I have attached a review video as well as a road test video that you... view full answer...
The Righline Gear Foam Block Kayak Carrier, # RL100K10, that you referenced was designed to fit most hull and gunwale styles essentially making it a universal block kit. These foam blocks can attach to round or square roof rack crossbars or even a bare roof if you do not have a roof rack on your 2001 Honda Prelude.
These carriers include blocks for one kayak, heavy duty straps and bow and stern tie downs. You may also be interested in the Hood Loops, # TH529, to establish a better attachment... view full answer...

To carry a canoe on a vehicle that does not have roof rack you can use a universal foam block carrier, # RL100K10. The roof on a 1998 Honda Prelude is pretty short and if your canoe is long then there may be too much front and back overhang to carry the canoe safely.
You will also need to check the weight capacity of the roof to determine if it can support the canoe. This information may be located in the owners manual. view full answer...
I checked the owner's manual for a 1997 Honda Prelude and it states that you can use Class S or cable style chains on the front wheels of the vehicle. We have numerous chains that fit this description. By far the easiest chains to install that I have ever used are the Low-Pro chains # TH04115075.
Nothing has been easier or faster than these chains. And when you are off on the side of the road in the snow trying to put on chains you want it to be as quick and easy as possible. I have linked... view full answer...
