Default Looking at picking up a Yakima roof rack - Where to buy?

Hey all,

The title says it all, can anyone point me in the right direction of where is a good place to buy? From what I understand, I need...

1. 58" crossbars
2. 50" fairing
3. Towers
4. Clips

So is there any good deals online or anything? I also want to pick up a basket, so if I could get that from the same place, that's an added bonus!

If you're looking for a good deal.. Check craigslist. I managed to get all my pieces for around $200.00, when they would have cost around $500+ with basket. If you're willing to do a little foot work, it totally worth looking for the right pieces.

Also.. if you're planning on running a basket and depending on where you live, you might want to invest in locks for the rack and the locking brackets for the basket. Its amazing how the baskets will grow legs and walk off..

Also.. if you can find the Q towers and the right clips.. I'm pretty sure RedneckwithanxB could tell you what size pipe you can buy to use as the crossbars.

It's also amazing how the basket will destroy your gas mileage... I have one but I leave it off unless I'm gonna need it.

haha, didn't realize it would own my gas mileage so much, haha. I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking of getting the basket that's a bit lower profile, which one do you have?
