basically I got tired of not being able to carry shit around, so I did something about it... factory hard-top racks are about as rare as unicorn farts so I made a few measurements and found the closest match that would allow modification to fit...
I went with Yakima due to measurement and cosmetic reasons...
48" bars (2)
control towers (4)
landing pad #4 (4)
yakima 38" fairing (totally necessary unless you LOVE terrible wind noise)
and special bolts (from some local nut'n'bolt place)
M8-1.25X20mm socket head cap screw... (fancy way of saying allen head)
there is no rack that has bolts this large, this is why we must MAKE it work
the "landing pads" require some modification. You must enlarge the holes and also elongate (inwards) the mounting holes they are only about 1/8" off so I brought each side inward 1/16" and made the holes big enough for a M8 screw to fit through...
There ya go! Now we have the most useful E30 ever made... 3 looks for the price of one AND it carries shit in style...
