Question:
Are there adapters that would allow me to use older Mako or Hully rollers that have the round bar attachment to my new HD crossbar?

Hey Daniel, thanks for reaching out!
I took a look at the carriers you have but unfortunately it looks like they are only compatible with round bars. In order to use a carrier with your new Yakima HD crossbar you'll need to get a new carrier that is compatible with the T-Slot or can wrap all the way around the crossbar.
For that I recommend the Yakima BigCatch # Y04091 which installs by wrapping around the bars, but also has the Adapter Kit # Y04092 if you'd rather install it via the T-Slots.
