Question:

I have a Yakima RacknRoll 78 trailer. Do you think this kit can be configured to fit on the round bars or possibly on the cross rails? Thanks

The Bunk Kit for Malone MegaSport Trailer - 1 Kayak # MPG561 is not a fit for your Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 78" # Y08107. It may be able to be adapted to fit, but It would take some work and wouldn't be supported by the manufacturer. My recommendation is to use the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Side Loading - Clamp On # RR570 or the Thule DockGrip # TH895.

Malone doesn't offer just the hardware of the #MPG561 that you referenced. You can only order it with the bunks which would certainly be easier than making them yourself!

I spoke with my Yakima representative, and was told that they do not offer the replacement lens as a separate item. Your best bet would be to order the #Y8880178 and replace the entire lamp.
