Adding Third Crossbar to Yakima EasyRider Trailer

Question

Question:

What parts would be required to add a third top cross bar to a Yakima Easy Rider Trailer? It looks like 2 towers Y57EV, 1 cross bar Y45FR, and a pair of connectors for the towers to attach to on the cross bar or do these come with the cross bar?.

Hey Jeff, this is a great question and one that I hadn't thought of before but all you need to add a third crossbar to the Yakima EasyRider trailer # Y08129 would be a 78 inch crossbar part # Y45FR and two of the feet part # Y57EV according to Yakima.

The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer #Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars.…
