For your Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08107 you simply need add carriers. You can add 4 J-style carriers like # e98878 or just one post style carrier like # TH830 for your 4 kayaks.

You just want to make sure the 4 kayaks and carriers are a total weight under 250 lbs which is the trailer rack capacity.

It would be a pretty tight fit to get two kayaks on J carriers plus two hybrid bikes on the Yakima Rack n Roll 66” #Y08107 but it's definitely possibly. I attached a picture that shows the room you'd have with two kayaks on this carrier. I…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
