Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Newbie member and newbie 987 owner (first Porsche). Absolutely loving it. It is our only car and moving into the summer I'll be needing to move my road bike around as I do events (my other passion in life). I understand that for the 986, Porsche offered the RTS but they didnt update it for the 987 so nothing official from Porsche. I have done a little research and I came across Bird Automotive bike racks but as far as I can tell, that is pretty much my only option. Anyone used a bike rack on a Boxster before now without damaging the paintwork? If so which one? Anyone used these Bird Automotive ones before now? They seem a little pricey at nearly $500 so practically £300 after shipping, especially for something I havent even seen before but they do appear to keep the bike away from the paintwork Thanks!

POST 3Original post

They look very interesting. The only problem I have with my Box is the bike issue. But how do they actually fix? S

POST 4Original post

Had a Bird bike rack on my Boxster before we added a Subaru Legacy to the garage sold it to a fellow PH'er Thread here http://www.pistonheads.com/GASSING/topic.asp?h=0&a... Clever fixing method bracket with 2 pipes you then attach the rack to, pretty stable although as I've got a disc wheel on the back of my bike it was a bit susceptible to wind ,also could block the rear lights if you weren't careful but probably not a problem for most. Even had 2 bikes on it a couple of times, certainly turns heads
