Expert Reply:
For a kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima JayLow Carrier, # Y04073, for your CR-V. The Yakima JayLow carrier can carrier up to two kayaks and includes tie-downs for secure the kayaks to the roof rack and to your vehicle. The rack has a capacity of 110 lbs for two kayaks and your crossbar spread must be a minimum of 24 inches.
Before you can mount a kayak carrier on your 2014 Honda CR-V you will need to make sure you have a roof rack with crossbars installed on the vehicle.
If you have a naked roof with no rails at all installed then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Crossbars, # RRVA137B-2. To mount the Rhino-Rack crossbars you also need parts # RRRLKVA and # DK284.
If you have the flush mounted rails that run front to back on the roof of your CR-V, then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System, crossbars, # RRVA126B-2, Legs # RRRCL4, and Fit Kit # RRRCP33-BK.
If your CR-V has the factory crossbars then you would just need a kayak carrier. The Yakima carrier should fit as long as the bars are up to 3-1/2 inches wide. Please consult the vehicle owners manual for the roof weight capacity prior to loading.
I have linked video on the Yakima carrier and the Rhino-Rack roof racks for you to review.
