Agreed. I jam my Hilsen (no lawyer lip) with SKS Longboards onto my Yakima
Steelhead. A Boa sounds like a great solution - just make sure it is not
loose. It really takes a lot to screw it up.
The bigger risk to bikes on roof racks is backing into the garage with the
bikes on the top - I'm

So, I just purchased a Yakima Boa roof rack, missing the fact that says
it's designed for forks with safety tabs (lawyer lips, right?). Anyone
using such racks with their Rivs? I can't use my old Yakima one piece
Steelhead because of the fender, hence the purchase of the two part rack.
If it holds the front fork by clamping onto the dropouts, the fork doesn't need
lawyer lips. Just make sure the skewer on the rack is tight.
