Is It Possible To Convert The Yakima Ridgeback 2 Bike Rack Into a 4 Bike Rack?

Question

Question:

I would like to know if I can change my Yakima Ridgeback 2 to a Ridgeback 4. Will a Ridgeback 4 arm fit into the Ridgeback 2 assembly? And do you sell the Ridgeback 4 arms?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yakima does not manufacturer the Upper Arms for the Ridgeback 4 Bike Rack # Y02458 as a replacement part, so you will not be able to convert your 2 Bike Rack # Y02457. You will need to get a separate rack to be able to carry 4 bikes.
