    Here

    Classic Yak Q-Towers with 48" bars here. Have used the same set on 3 cars now. So many attachment options your head will explode.

    Far more functional than those effete little Whispbars.

    Same here. Second car I've used this set on. They stand a little higher off the vehicle which allows more room for attachments. Many hook style bar attachments need excess room between the bar and car. The whispers look more flush, but I'm a big fan of "if it isn't broke don't fix it". In fact I just reinstalled my Q's today. This will be the third season (total) that I've run this setup. Very happy so far.

    I love the whispbar crossbar setup. The WB200 fork mount bike rack is great as well. It goes on and off so easily that I just put it on when carrying my bike but otherwise go with the crossbars alone as it's much more quiet.
