So... you can just unscrew and pop off the bumperettes, then slap that puppy on there.... and quickly reverse it, too?

yeah, it said to be a one hour install but since its a two prong or receiver system the new Saris rack won't work with it.

Willwoood did respond to my inquiry and state that he is working on a behind the license plate single receiver that would work with the 26 pound Saris rack.
I'm very interested in the Saris rack because its a one piece unit.
The other systems that work with Yakima and Thule bike carriers reuire a bed frame for the bike carriers to rest on. To me that's allot of money (over $500), allot of weight and too much bulk.

I also have to lug the bike and bike carrier up a couple of flights in the townhouse I live in. I don't like leaving that stuff in the garage.

Check out the video of the Saris Thelma
