Here is the link, all 3 will work but I used the Curt one. To get it to fit the coupe you need to remove that arm off to the right which is why you lose a little stability. Very easy instalation and like I said, I can put 3 heavy mtn bikes on there but I do use the attached strap around the trunk for added stability.
+1 for the SC, great bike although I recently cracked the frame and am in the process of upgrading through the SC warranty dept!

How did you know that the hitch would fit a coupe?

The bike tray is designed for both Mtn and Road bikes. The fork mount, which is what I believe you are referring to, is highly stable and commonly used. My bike is just under 15lbs, but I designed the kit such that a 30lb mtn would fit.
Someone asked about my group. As in grouppo? I ride SRAM red.
And no, the bike tray is not mounted except rarely, when I don't ride from home. The pic below is what the car looks like without the bike tray.

Bike Rack Available
Hey Vimish,
I saw your bike rack and it's just what I was looking around for! I was looking at other options as to how to drag my pinarello around since I had to get rid of my minivan, and yours is the very best I've seen! Do you have other units available? How much would you charge to have a duplicate made? Let me know, PLEASE!!! I'm at my wits end, I've gotta get out on the good roads, but got the ghettos all around me!
Thanks!

this thread has been very helpful... thanks! i just bought a mountain bike for the casual ride here and there and didnt want to get one of those roof mount racks... or the ones you clip onto your trunk (which my roommate has)... think ill have to get one of these receiver hitches on my car.
edit: has anyone used one of these? http://www.autoanything.com/towing/7...a-000423bb4e95

fyi, the u-haul website list a class 1 hitch for about $130 for an 09 g37 coupe. installation is usually around $100.
i have one installed on my mustang and its not very obtrusive. all you can see from the rear is the receiver. once i sell the mustang i will go to uhaul and ask about the g37 hitch.

hey!
Here is mine, not as nice when its racked as yours is but when the rack is off its virtually invisible unless you get under the car. And when I go to Newport or up North, I take both my mtn and road bikes, I can get three bikes on there although it can be a bit flimsy, I strap the rack around the trunk and its very stable.
Looks great though!

Road Bike Fits in Trunk!
I have a $9000 LOOK road bike, all Campy Super Record 11. All I do is put my back seat down, take the seat post with seat off, the front wheel off, and everything fits in the trunk, no problem. I ride 4 times a week and was elated when it all fit in there and no bike rack required for just one bike.

I might have to get a roof rack. Suggestions?
