Trailer hitch bike rack
 
Is it possible to add a trailer hitch style bike rack to the 370Z? I like that it would keep the bikes a safe non-scratching distance from my bumper.

Thoughts?

It's going to be better (and safer) for you to go with a roof-mount system. Look up the Boofsquire roof rack. It straps to the hatch and you mount a regular rail mount to it. If you keep the feet clean and/or put down clear film pads on the mounting areas it won't scratch your paint & it's going to be much more solid than a hitch mount.

I have a Saris rack

the legs are movable to adapt to any type of car... from SUV to sedan..... I have never put it on the Z, but two sundays ago in the SnowBird Homestead race, i saw:

2x 350z
1x Porsche Caymen
3x Mazda rx8

with them on.

I take both wheels off and it fits in the trunk.

Holy crap man.... that sounds like an incredible amount of work, that could be solved with $195 ....

My brother does the same thing with his TT bike....

I have the roadster so roof racks are out of the question. As is the trunk.

Nah, I was looking for something reasonably priced. It would be nice to be able to bring my bike with my to my parents house this summer. That Saris rack looks pretty nice actually, have to check that out!

Do you think a large frame mountain bike would fit with both wheels off? @-Nolan what size frame did you put in?
