Can you mount this on a bike rack on the back of the car?

I think you could. if you just make sure you close the lid on with a clip that wont let it come off. We made sure it had a good clip when it went on a plane and you know how hard they are on luggage. I would say there is a way to figure this out with bungee cords or straps.

No. I would not buy this again. All plastic and a little flimsy where you can lock it. You might be able to secure with bungy cords but I wouldn't count on it.

Yes - absolutely. This can be mounted on just about anything because it has built-in hooks that you can attach bungee cords to.

Yes you can you have to put the tool caddie on the back side and the bike will hang far enough away

Well, just thinking about how much room I have between my rack, my bikes and my car, I'm going to say no. However that answer is a guesstimate based upon what I see and what I imagine you have. If you call Allen and tell them what kind of car it will go on and how wide your bike is, I think they should be able to give you a more solid answer. Good luck!

Not if you want to mount the computer itself to the handle bars. The wire is to short to reach the back tire.

Only if you have a trailer hitch for a 2" receiver. If you have a 1" hitch you might be able to get a 1" to 2" adapter from say Harbor Freight. This bike rack will not strap or hook to your vehicle any other way.....Hope this helped. John

no, it would not be suitable for a standard rack mount. Plus, it's very weighty.

Yes you could , and use two brackets on the top of the rear rack. You might lose some of the stability of the baskets by not using the lower bracket that connects to the frame. It was easy to connect to the rack though. But and a bolt tighten to a P shaped clamp. I use them every day. Open up easy and I added a shot if WD-40 to the little hinge that holds the basket closed when not in use and was a big help. Take care, John

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

Not that I am aware, and this has been a concern. We park the car backwards in the driveway so that the rack is up against the house (and porch light). There is a sturdy iron ring on the bottom portion of the rack, and I imagine you could secure this to the car's frame or trailer hitch with some sort of cable or chain.

Yes you can. This bike mount only works on bikes with Thin Downtube. if yours it's thicker, it will not work.

I have a rack as well. as long as it not past the back of your tire, i think it would be fine. good luck

Technically you can mount it using zip ties, but load capacity would be compromised as the design relies on the screw depth. I would not recommend this rack for your application..

You can use any rack out there, there are no racks made specifically for this trunk. I mounted the trunk mounting plate to the rear seat cowling on my YZF750R and it worked just fine.

Basically if u have a front or back rack that is available you can attach the mount to it.

You should be able to as long as it has the horizontal bar that goes along the back end of the bike to the back wheel. It attaches anywhere along that bar.

I have not tried it for that as I have a Swagman bike rack which is really great...purchased through Amazon.

Since the rack itself attaches via a receiver I guess the question would be can you put a hitch on the underside of the "car". LOL
