5 Excellent rack - it looks and works perfectly with the new Honda Ridgeline.I highly recommend this for the Ridgeline. I'm ordering a third Loball because there's plenty of room for three road/gravel bikes. Easy to install, fits perfectly, looks great and it feels solid. I just got the Ridgeline rack with two Loball fork-mounts and it's a great solution. Took a few tries (and multiple trips to a hardware store) to figure this out, so I wanted to share incase anyone was like me and wanted to have this mount but also use a cover! I'll likely swap out the 8mm bolt they included with a longer one (to attach one more locking nut for good measure) but as is I'm thinking this will be good enough. Put the mounting hardware on before you attach the bar, saves a bunch of time! Then attached the bar to the corner bracket using the 5/16th hardware. Installed the wall brackets with tie off cleat facing tailgate, then attached corner bracket on top with the corner facing the cab (with the 2nd leg pointing down). I bought a corner bracket from a local hardware store (link ) and some 5/16 x 1 inch bolts/washers/nuts.

On the off chance someone else also wanted to install this in addition to the Access Literider tonneau cover I was able to get it to work (by pivoting it 90 degrees with a corner bracket) I've sent the install picture in to rockymounts, so contact them if you want to see it, but typed out instructions to follow: 5 Works with Access tonneau cover-with a modification!.If it didn't start rusting right away where the T-lever clamps onto the mount, I'd give it 5 stars. The perfect minimalist rack for my Honda Ridgeline. During install I wondered if making a mount to fit the floor tie down points would help gain a few inches.hmmmmm? Such is the conundrum of the Ridgeline., bed rack?, hitch rack? swinging tailgate. Also used only one adapter screw hole moving it forward to gain an inch. I can wiggle only one MTB in sideways and close the tailgate. My XL MTBs wont fit with the tailgate up but my 60cm road bike will. Tie down point adapters are same size and thickness as the factory Honda which was a pleasant surprise! (actually swap out the Honda for the Rocky). Torx wrench for the Honda screws was included as well as track screw which I didn't need either one. Had to buy a Tamper Resistant star bit (Torx) set since the size needed to attach the bar (screw) to the adapter was not included, maybe it fell out during shipment. Posted by Joseph McKenney on May 7th 2019 Lots of winding country road driving (not off-road) and they worked perfectly. We were able to fit 3 gravel/cross bikes with no issues. In addition to the rack, I got two Driveshaft HM and an additional LoBall Track (all keyed alike). Avoids fiddling and wasted time.Įasy install - perfect solid fit. Tip - put the bikes with disc brakes or kid/women bikes that require top tube adapters into the bed. Cut my load time for family bike rides from 30 frustrating minutes down to about 8 easy minutes. I now put two bikes in the bed of the truck and the remaining 3 bikes on the hitch rack. I have a 5 position trailer-hitch-mounted bike rack, but we all know "five positions" means you can get about three bikes on there unless they are the same size. This really makes family biking so much easier. I have two mounts installed and there's room for a third. Posted by William Cooley on Nov 16th 2019Įxact fit, easy to install, hold bikes very securely, and you don't lose your tie down points.
