Hitch recievers
Has anyone put a 1-1/4 hitch reciever on their 6th generation Maxima?
I was fitting our roof mounted rack on our Accord the other night. Two things I notices was 1) the rack creates a heilicopter effect in the cabin with the sunroof open, even with a faring, and 2) the rack is an older design that requires removal of the front wheel. The mouting point for the front fork is right above the sunroof. One slip and its a $500 repair bill.
So, I was thinking of getting a rear mount bike rack. I'd like to be able to put it on the Maxima I have on order. Any thoughts?
