I just ordered a sidekick kit for my outback, then I noticed a listing for a mount kit wiht center bar. The question is do I need to order this also? Aret there any tips on outback mounting?

I installed the side kicks on my Revo this spring. The bar came with the side kicks that lists for $145.

The only suggestion from here is to either tighten the well nuts tight or use a washer & nut on the under side. The well nuts have been known to pull out for some and not others. I used washers and lock nuts and didn't try the well nuts.

I only use them with the sail and it really helped. They don't seem to have much if any drag.

Thanks alot, I'm good to go on the kit and I prefer nuts and bolts. The last time I installed anything I had a little bit of a problem reaching into the cramped space but I'll have to wait till I see the position requirements.

Like you I'm getting the kit for use with a sail.

thanks again
