For those of us with an EVO SE or MR, we have a very limited choice when it comes to roof racks.Â* Because we dont have a rail to attach conventional roof systems to, that means that we can only go with a Yakima system at the moment:
This is the following equipment that you will need to secure a Yakima roof rack to your Evo with an aluminium roof:
*THREAD UPDATED WITH EVO X FITMENTS.Â* Â*ALSO NOTE THAT YAKIMA HAS RAISED THEIR PRICES ACROSS THEIR PRODUCT LINE(UPDATED 1/8/2009)*
In case you already own the Yakima system for the IX but traded for the X, you're in luck.Â* Obviously you don't need to re-purchase everything...Â* Instead all you need is new front clips (Q5) and the optional longer fairing (44")
Happy racking!

In addition to the base system, you will next have to add the attachments necessary for your desired equipment:
These attachments are universal and will fit any Yakima round crossbar system, so its up to you which model you choose.Â* These are the more common ones that I happen to own:
PowderhoundÂ* (for snowboards) (holds 4 snowboards)
Part # 8003071Â* Â*
Retail: $119 each x 2 (You need two of these)
SteelheadÂ* (for bikes)Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â*
Part # 8002045Â* Â*
