Will Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02098 Fit Bars on 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
Hello will the Yakima forklift mounts work on my OEM crossbars? Are these lockable? Do you sell the locks for these mounts?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02098 is designed with mounting hardware that fits many types and sizes of roof rack crossbars, including most factory rack bars. As long as your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon's crossbars are not larger than 3-7/8-inches wide or 1-7/8-inches tall the ForkLift will fit. The two bars' centers must be at least 16-inches apart to use one carrier, or at least 18-inches apart to use two carriers at once. The greater weight load of two racks and two bikes requires a wider stance for the bars.
You can easily make the carrier lockable by adding on the SKS Lock kit # Y07202. This kit includes a master control key, two lock cores and two standard keys. This kit will allow you to lock your bike to the carrier and to lock the carrier to the crossbars. I have linked an installation video for the lock kit.
