kayak loader

[jet]

here is an awesome rig someone made on the KFS boards.


twiceayear made the original loader, but recently biketx2812 of Fort Worth, Texas designed a super heavy duty loader from Hully Rollers, PVC and some glass-installer suction cups from Harbor Freight. Both Original (and howto video) and the new heavy-duty are shown below.

Harbor Freight might be out of the suction cup things, but you can try here http://www.amazon.com/Quad-head-Suct...3864372&sr=8-1

since the idea was originally posted, it's amusing to go to the bottom of the amazon page "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" and see that peple who bought these also bought kayak cartop saddles, lol I bet glass installers are wondering what the relationship is.

I'm afraid it may break my windshield... I will get a pickup truck...probably a used one for now..

^ im getting a truck too. My little Acura rsx is just too small for all my gear, rods, and lifting the kayak on top is becoming a pain!

I made and use one of these on my Honda CRV.

Works well except the rear windshield has a slight curve in it so it can be a bit tricky sometimes to get both suction cups to grip. Once it is on, it works just fine.
