Question:

Hi, I have a 2011 Honda pilot with factory crossbars. I was wondering if the Yakima Boa Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount will fit those crossbars?

There are many options in roof bike racks that will fit the flat elliptical factory bars on your 2011 Honda Pilot.

The link provided will take you to our main page for all roof bike carriers that will fit factory bars. You have options to choose among wheel-mount, frame-mount or fork-mount types like the Boa.
You can use the filters in the left-hand margin to narrow the product results to suit your preferences.

For example, we offer the Yakima ForkLift # Y02098 that is shown in the linked video in use on a Honda Pilot. This carrier fits factory bars that have a spread of between 16- and 42-inches.

I have a cargo carrier with 1.0 inch square bars. Will this fit?

The square bars the Yakima Boa # Y02065 is designed to fit is 1-1/4" x 1-1/4", which means the fit will be a bit loose on the 1" bars for your particular carrier. I think a better option will be a rack that attaches to the roof crossbars themselves (such as the FrontLoader # Y02103), alongside the cargo basket you've already got mounted.
