+1 to flipping one of the roof racks front to back to solve bar interference
Using the Alltrack as a platform to display the racks is a cool idea. I dont see anyone being able to put 5 bikes, plus 5 bodies plus gear into one for any kind of transport however. Have you tried that yet, or is this setup purely for display purposes? Tire clearance on the rear, terrible handling and lack of power would be my concerns. Even 3 bikes hanging that far off the back of a 1.25" hitch on that car would have me worried. Im kind of surprised Yakima makes a hitch setup like this that will have people likely overloading the rear of their cars. I realize that the rack is quite light, but with 3 bikes leveraging that far off the back it isnt the best of ideas in my opinion.
