Bike Rack
Looking for a recommendation for a bike rack to fit my 2SS with wing style spoiler

I have a trailer hitch 1up bike rack. It is the best but not the cheapest option.

I have the affordable Kuat Transfer V2 rack 2-bike. It hooks up nicely behind my Camaro on the GM accessory trailer hitch, and does not create any noticeable drag on the highway when empty and folded up. It's cheap as bike racks go, but is completely satisfactory for carrying road bikes, MTB and kids' BMX bikes.
I have the small 1LE rear spoiler, but if you have a Big Wang that goes back a ways, I can take some measurements to tell you how high the Kuat Transfer goes when folded up, and how many inches it is behind my trunk. PM me if you want that info. |

I had a walmart brand rack on mine and stopped using it. Took longer for me to put the thing on the hatch than to just take the wheels and seat off my bike and put it in the trunk. It scratched the paint up too and also didn't fit when I put on my blade spoiler.

The Saris Bones EX may be high enough, but I think the straps may not work with a wing.

I have been using a Buzz Rack 2-bike trailer hitch rack for the last two years. Its built like a tank and can carry two e-bikes. Not cheap but works great:

Even though the Saris Bones is the best trunk rack, it will damage your car over time. I had one a long time ago. It will damage the trunk, warp panels, the contact points will scuff the paint from just dust in the air. It's not cheap, it's a decent trunk rack, but that money is better invested in a receiver rack. The "tray" style trunk racks are even worse for all of this, more leverage on these parts. I still race the hell out of my car and beat all sorts of other cars, hope it makes them feel bad when they ask me "what have you modded?" and the only thing I can tell them is a receiver for my bike race. Non-outdoor people have a hard time understanding all of this, but it works great once it's on. Just a little tiny bit of diffuser to cut out in the rear facia.

If mine ever totally dies, I'll probably get a 1up. The T2 arms and parts aren't very expensive though and I've had it for nearly 20 years now.
