Genuine Honda Accessories 08L09-TA1-100 Kayak Attachment

I bought this to see if I "even" needed it for my Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 Kayak. I thought I could just rope down my kayak to the cross bars, man am I happy that I bought this attachment. The attachment goes on easy enough, requiring no tools at all! The hardest part was adjusting the width to match my kayak. The front two attachments are adjustable to form a "J" so it hugs the side of the kayak perfectly, I used some tie downs that ratchet down and since the antenna is in the center of the back of the car, we mounted the attachment on the passengers side. After getting the width down I strapped the kayak down and drove to the river!! Putting the kayak back on the car was so simple. The attachment is designed so you can slide the kayak onto the car from the back of the car. I was able to do this (nearly) alone. I love this attachment, it was precisely what we were looking for. I left the sun roof open while we drove and the kayak barely even moved.

Having brought a Kayak, I needed a way of transporting it. This works well, expensive and delivery delayed by 3 days to "process order" so ended up waiting a week after all the other stuff to arrive. Went on very easily but the straps were a joke. Too short at 6 ft to go around a 12 ft long kayak and ended up buying 12 ft straps that worked well. For the price you woud have thougth they could have provided more universal straps.

A perfect fit on our 2004 Honda CRV.

This product shipped very quickly and is a great value. My only complaint is regarding the straps that come with this kit. The straps are very short and will only work with a narrow sprint/marathon kayak. If you have anything wider, you will need to buy additional straps that are longer than what's included.

Attaches to Honda factory or aftermarket crossbars. Easily and securely handles my 12 foot fishing kayak. (Must remove antenna.) Can install or remove in minutes. As mentioned in other reviews, factory supplied tie downs are not long enough. Front and back tie down pulley system is well designed.

This is a perfect accompaniment to the Honda roof rack at a great price. It is easy to install and easy to slide the kayak onto. It makes for ann easy one person operation! Very pleased with it.

perfect and so easy to install. It is well designed and easy to keep in your roof without looking like you are driving around with antlers. I put it on the racks that came with my car. Go Honda!

I checked the dealership for the price on this item and it was almost twice as much. I am so glad I checked on Amazon. No problems, easy to attach, used it all summer.
