No. 78" Long Yakima HD bars # Y01159 cannot be mounted on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. The Rack and Roll trailer is only designed to be used with round crossbars. If you're looking for a kayak carrier that has a higher capacity and comes with the HD bars the Yakima Easy Rider # Y08129 is what you're looking for. The EasyRider is a double-decker trailer that gives you 2 levels of storage, plus the built in shocks on the trailer provide you with added cushioning to protect your gear from getting jostled around.

I've linked an assembly and review video of the EasyRider that I highly recommend checking out.
