I would love to know more info and maybe a pic without the rack? Thanks.
I've been considering this but:
1) too expensive for the little I will do with it
2) not very strong
3) car already too low, the hitch is lower.

I purchased the hitch from etrailer.com. I think it was only about $140 and is built pretty well, IMO. As far as height goes, I have not encountered any issues yet. Although I've only put about 25 miles on my car since, if that. Hope this helps

I have the same hitch for my bike rack. You'll start scraping it on things, i'm not even lowered and it rubs on steep driveways. Doesn't do any damage, just scratches the hitch a little.
It's still a lot better than taking off the front wheel and craming my 60cm Specialized Allez in the back seat.
btw, nice bike!

Finally purchased the inno roof rack system for the GS. Its a hook system like all the other ones i found for the GS. So far so good, driving around a little bit with the board on top to make sure everything is fine. It is kind of an eye sore thou. Yes thats a crack on my front bumper.... someone backed into my car while it was parked downtown.
I'm also looking for a roof rack system, and it looks like it's between the Inno, Yakima, or Rhino Rack (never heard of them before).

I was originally going to try the rhino but they have weird shaped cross bars. The rack I have is good, it even survived an aluminum parking arm coming down and scratching the top of my car. It did def affect my gas mileage and did increase wind noise up top.
