Mounting the Yakima ForkLift Roof Bike Rack to Yakima JetStream Aero Crossbars
Question:
Thanks Evangeline, but the bike rack is an older model forklift that I would like to use on the newer Jetstream bars, or will I have to get the newer forklift model? I would rather get a newer forklift than go with round crossbars.

No need for adapters! The clamps on the Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Rack # Y02098 can be adjusted to fit round, square, or aero bars.
The Yakima JetStream crossbars # Y00425 are a little large at 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall so it will be a tight fit. They are still within the maximum of 3-7/8" wide or 1-7/8" tall specs though that the ForkLift clamps can fit around. I suggest making sure your clamps are adjusted to the lowest notch. I attached a picture from the instructions to show that adjustment.
