Hi Don; the mounting hardware that comes with the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 will allow you to mount it to round crossbars. No additional hardware is needed.

@Don ah I see, your question showed 2 round bars so I assumed a quantity of 2 standard bars. Our system probably pulled out the " for 2" round bars". The actual RoundBar adapters won't fit since they're designed for 1.125" diameter crossbars but the clamps are universal and fit crossbars up to 3-1/2" in diameter so you will be able to clamp them onto your 2" diameter crossbars.
