Jo3ly Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I know this is criminal and should never be done but im looking into a bike rack for my 350z. Ive seen the Boofsquire roofracks in the states but not seen anything over here... http://boofsquire.com/ I go mountain biking and want to start using the Zed if possible as its allot more fun than the missus golf...

AliveBoy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I emailed them for information and never heard back. I thought it could be a good tyre rack too 2 Quote
14N Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I use a Halfords Hi-Level universal one. Excuse the pics, the rack was just placed on for the purpose of the photo and the straps are loose etc. Just make sure the points of contact on the boot and bumper are clean before fitting so it doesn't scratch.

14N Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Needs to be a UK rear bumper to work though! Not an option if JDM Quote
dErZ Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 RT performance had a boofsquire one forsale... Quote

Jo3ly Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Needs to be a UK rear bumper to work though! Not an option if JDM great stuff, thanks for this. Ive got some vouchers for halfords too so this may be the answer! Quote
14N Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 No worries. Takes a while to get the angle of the dangle right, but you've got my pics as a point of reference Quote
14N Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 It's this one: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_251011_langId_-1_categoryId_165477 On a special offer ATM for £60. Quote
flyboy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I have an original boofsquire which I am trialling at the moment. Its quite heavy in areas where the weight doesn't do anything. I am hoping to manufacture a similar lighter product here in the UK with the same load capacity. Watch this space but it could be up and running in as little as 2-3 months, with custom colours a possibility. 3 Quote
AliveBoy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 No worries. Takes a while to get the angle of the dangle right, but you've got my pics as a point of reference Quite a few things in life can go wrong if you don't get the angle of your dangle right And flyboy, would you make some alterations to one for tyre carrying?

flyboy Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 The original takes all sorts of standard roof bar attachments from bikes to surfboards and mine would do the same. If there is nothing on the market to take wheels on std roofbars then I am sure something could be done. Quote
SX Dave Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) The halford one looks really high, dont think i like the look of that one. not to say it isnt perfectly safe Iv got a saris bones and it fits great and even on my JDM bumper. Takes 2 mins to fit and is fine at motorway speeds! Edited March 20, 2013 by SX Dave 1 Quote
Photman Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I am really interested in the boofsquire for my 370z GT. Like some i have emailed them a number of times but no reply. They have update the wide site also as, they have put info on about the new 370Z Nismo... Please if anyone has one, i would love to buy, i kayak and bike and the boof is the perfect option. Quote
