Posted July 11, 201311 yr comment_427365 Mini Bomber | SeaSuckerI've been looking for a way to bring my cycles with me when I move across country. I thought I'd throw this out there for general reference in case others were looking for racks or mounts for recreational equipment.And to see what others on the board think of this design. I'll call on it tomorrow. Thanks for looking.Look up SeaSucker on YouTube also if you want more video footage.

July 14, 201311 yr comment_427605 Not on MY Z!It seems to me that this mount would create a lot of action on a relatively small patch of sheet metal with a lot of mechanical advantage. That can't be good. Even worse, what if the suction cup looses its vacuum? You'd lose the bike, which would possibly leave scrapes on your roof, and then you'd be liable for damage to vehicles behind you.

July 14, 201311 yr Author comment_427610 I'm actually moving to Virginia.Interesting points, FastWoman. I did consider losing my bikes if the vacuum cup loses suction, but I was overlooking the liability for the damage it would cause other vehicles... As far as the sheet metal and paint go, my car is haggard already, but I worry my peeling clear coat would reduce the suction capabilities of the vacuum cup to begin with. Thanks for your input.
