Looks great but $408 delivered and I still need to fit it! How much is a tow bar fitted?

Ring up a dealer over the weekend or next week and ask them for a price over the phone, they might be able to do a better price with some gentle persuasion

Bike Force sells a good set of bike rack to go on the Tow Bar. I’ve got one recently works like magic and the best thing is the transportability of the rack. You can take it off when you don’t need it and put it back on when you wanted it. I would suggest you to go to a bike shop and talk to them.

You can get strap-on (lol) bike racks. Not sure how good they are though.

I did that when recently removing my front seat in order to tune my amplifier. Still managed to put 3 nice gouges in the arm rest of my centre console. Fail.

Emailed City Subaru twice and got nothing. It's not that convenient to ring from my office. Will try Melville Subaru next.

There are a few guys on this forum who work for Osborne Park & Wangara Subaru, could try emailing one of them for information on the tow bar.

If you've got a reese hitch like this sticking out the back of your car somewhere..



...I can sort you out a THULE bike rack to suit. You don't need a towball to use some of their models - but you do need the above slot (a Hayman Reese) on whatever car you plan to get a bike rack fitted to. I can do a number of other brands - namely Rhinoracks - but THULE are excellent from a warranty & quality point of view.

Just hit me up with a pm and I'll help you out! :-) Will be able to do things alot cheaper than RRP.
