thule 400xt / 2180 fit kit clips / 835pro / 91724 used on 2007 honda fit
Just installed this very system for a 2007 Honda Fit to carry kayak and bikes (and customer will be mounting a ski rack in winter)...
Started with the Thule 400XT Aero roof rack base system. The Thule 400XT Aero system includes four 400XT Aero Feet, four FitKit 2180 Clips (these Fit Kit Clips are specificly made for the 2007 Honda Fit) and two load bars (the 50" load bars are the length recommended for the Honda Fit). The kayak, bike and ski carriers attach to this pair of load bars. If you decide to go with 2 sets of kayak racks then you will need the longer 58 inch load bars.
Then the Thule 835PRO Hull-A-Port kayak rack was used. This is a great universal kayak rack attachment that uses a j-cradle design for easy loading/unloading of your kayak. The Thule 835PRO kayak rack cradles the kayak in a semi-vertical fashion, using up very little load bar space to allow you to also connect other gear carriers, such as bike racks or ski racks, at the same time. The all-new design of this carrier also allows the cradles to fold down when not in use, avoiding any clearance issues such as a garage etc. Another great option is the Thule 835XTR Hull-A-Port kayak rack which is exactly the same as the Thule 835PRO except the cradles cannot be folded down on the 835XTR model.
For the bike rack the Thule 518 Echelon fork mount bike rack was used. Totally premium and delivers quick and easy loading and holds the bike very securely when in transit. Works with all styles of mountain bikes, full suspension and disc-brake compatible too. There is no other fork mount carrier available that will get your bike loaded up and secured this fast every time.
And finally, the Thule 91724 ski/snowboard rack will be mounted to the base rack load bars during the winter months to carry snowboards and skis.
