[A/S] Front bike rack on Yukon
I just uploaded a picture of "Front bike rack on Yukon" to the Photos
section. Once in the Photos section, click on the "Show All" link and
scroll to the bottom to see it.
This setup uses a standard receiver hitch mounted on the front of the
vehicle. The bike rack is a factory assessory from GMC. It has room
for 4 bikes but I only need to carry two.
To improve driving visibility over the bikes, I modified the GMC rack
by drilling new mounting holes so the rack part could be mounted lower
on the rack frame. This puts the body of the bikes below my driving
field of vision. The handle bars do stick up and are slightly
distracting but not bad enough to induce me to remove the handle bars
from the bikes.
