‘Drop in’ Expedition Style Rack

[grinchy]

Rack is fine. Round bars make noise. I had some Yakima bars back in the day, those two things were ridiculous. But after getting the fairing installed, no big deal.
I expect the same here.

And in stock form it isn’t noisy, just has some noise too in crosswinds.

Really nice rack you got there. I put on a BajaRack Megamule. I went back and forth over how to mount it. I was going to do it like yours and get it lower but in the end I bought 2 additional cross rails and mounting brackets and sat the rack on those. It sits up a bit higher and it might be noisier my way but it's hasn't bothered us.

Trying out a fairing.

Freeway tested the new fairing for an hour while my 16 year old got highway experience. Rack now silent.

Here’s the fairing link ($30)

I drilled a few holes in the fairing and zip tied it on.
