Not for Towing. No Warranty Compromise |

Manual states clearly that the car is "not to be used for towing".
The Bird Automotive Receiver Pipes cannot be used for towing, can't be
mistaken for a trailer hitch, and do not compromise the factory
warranty. |

Locking Accessory. |
|
As
one customers told us, "my bike's worth more than my car so this lock
better work!" An exaggeration perhaps, but we understand. The
Locking Kit consists of two long-shanked padlocks (same keys) and a heavy
duty vinyl coated straight steel cable. The first lock goes through
a hole in both the right side Pea Shooter Pipe and the right Leg of the
Rack, locking the Rack to the car. The cable goes through the bikes'
frames and one or both wheels of each bike. The cable padlocks to
both ends of the cable and a hole through the right Leg. The picture
on the first
Bike Racks
page shows the locks and cable. |

Golf Bag Carrier and Luggage Rack |
| The
Golf Bag Carrier - Luggage Rack attaches to the same Legs as the Bike Rack
shown above and uses the Receiver Pipes for support. A 12" x
24" Platform carries two pieces of luggage, two golf bags, or
one of each The Carrier has been tested at speed to safely support
100 pounds. The trunk will continue to open without touching the
Carrier/Rack and it can be stored in the trunk.

A Customer Writes to Say Thanks |
| "Dear
Bird Automotive, I just had to drop you a note to thank you for my Bicycle
Rack. I really appreciated the rush order. As promised it was easy to
install, and really easy to use. We went on a week long trip and took our
2 mountain bikes, it worked great, didn't use any trunk space and the
bikes were safe & secure ( we didn't even have to remove the front
tires). On top of all that it looks really cool!!! I couldn't be happier
with it. I get envious stares and questions from fellow ..import..owners..
when it's on the car, of course I tell them who to call. Thank you so much
for taking the time to answer my questions , my spouse was so impressed
with my choice. This way we don't have to hoist our bikes onto the roof
after a long ride, and with the bikes attached you don't even know it's
there. It's really great! Thank You!! Sincerely," a San Francisco Bay
area customer.
Thank you
dear customer! |
