[jamesmp319]

I was wondering if anyone had pictures of there speed with a roof rack on it I searched and didnt find anything. Mazda wants around 500$ for theirs and wondered if anyone had one on their speed. loaded or unloaded would be great.

Thanks! where did you buy your rack? do you have a lot of wind noise without haveing a deflector in the front?

[IHIERBal]

I ordered my OEM roof rack from ebay. $340 shipped and no tax.
The OEM rack comes with these 4 wind deflectors that you install on the front bar. Couldn't even tell the rack was on top after installing it and driving 80+mph.

Here's my 2011 MS3 with Thule system.

@I_Heart_Haters : 2010, 2011, 2012 MAZDA 3 4DR REMOVABLE ROOF RACK OEM NEW!!!! | eBay

Looks like it went up $10 since I ordered.

I'd much rather have one of the fixed point systems instead of the rain gutter setups as they are much lower to the car, but I got this entire deal on Craigslist for $150 with Fairing and 2 Big Mouth bike carriers with 6 locks so I suppose I can't complain. I can't even tell it is up there and don't notice any discernable wind noise.

Yeah but I figured if you gave them to me for free it would be cheaper.

Thanks. It's a Yakima base system ( landing pad 11, control towers, 48" bars) and 2 copperhead bike carriers. I lucked out and found them for sale locally, from a former Speedster, a couple months ago.

Here is my Thule setup





I don't normally leave the bike carrier on the car when not in use, it is a little big and cumbersome, but it is great for carrying the bike around.

[I_Heart_Haters]

what size fairing?

[Si[xXx]er]

I guess I should have put my parts list in the post, would make it easier for those searching for info.

460R Foot pack
Fitkit 3069
RB47 Load bars (think they may be discontinued now)
872XT Fairing (44")
594XT Sidearm bike carrier
Thule lock cores for everything

No, the feet of the rack mount to the mounting points in the roof of the car. Look at your weatherstripping in the roof of the car, there should be little black plastic covers, slide those off, and you will see a threaded part where you attach the feet of the rack to the car. The feet will sit on your roof like this:
