Question:
How wide are the crossbars? And do they have T slot channel? Trying to figure out which accessories I can add, and how many kayaks/canoes.

Expert Reply:
Hey Blake, the bars on the Yakima LowRider # Y82QD are just the Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01159 so they are 3" wide. For a kayak carrier, the Yakima JawLow # Y04073 is an excellent choice that'll fit those bars and will let you haul up to 2 kayaks. These bars also do have t-slots, so you could go that route as well.
What kind of kayaks are you hauling? Going anywhere fun? Feel free to let me know if there is something I can do for you!
