Hahahaha

Will have a look in the local Halfrauds this afternoon for the Bones 3 as I can't justify the £300+ for the Superbones. Can always sell the Bones 3 for about £100 on eBay if I change my mind later.

Used a saris bones on my z4 last Friday. It worked, make sure you do all the straps up tight and make sure they are seated properly to stop them popping off.

Also, I’ve spent the afternoon polishing off the small scratches that were left by the feet of the rack - so I’d make sure the paintwork is clean and possibly put a thin cloth between the car and the feet to stop it scratching in the future.

Bought a new Saris Bones 3 as the eBay prices are a bit nuts.

It's till in the box as I've not had time to get it onto the car or get the bike out.

Yep, well spotted Mon Mar.
Have been using a bones 3 for a while now and it works perfectly.
Have had 2 bikes loaded up and they didnt budge, even when traversing annoyingly bumpy dutch speedbumps!

I use that rubber antislip mat stuff between the 4 feet and the zeds paint and also as others have done, sheath the hooks with old bits of rubber biketyre innertube.

Superbones seems superfluous to me designwise and not really worth the premium.
