I know the oem accessory roof rack was a Mont Blanc...was it the Barracuda? Looking to pic one up, and if I am going to spend $100-150 I might as well try to get the oem module.

The OEM Roof Rack was a Yakima Whispbar...and it ain't no $150. I just purchased a set...$495+

Yup, the OE accessory bike module is the Mont Blanc Barracuda. I can tell you with 100% certainty given I have one. Keep in mind that you don't need to get it through Suzuki. Mont Blanc supplied the exact same bike module to VW as their OE accessory bike module. It might be cheaper and easier to find one through VW or directly as a Mont Blanc aftermarket product. Just make sure they come with the proper roof rack mounts.

Okay, I had heard it was also used on the Jetta. Thanks for the confirmation!

Yup. I've seen a number of VW Jettas with the exact same Mont Blanc bike module.toejam wrote:Okay, I had heard it was also used on the Jetta. Thanks for the confirmation!

My friend made a roof rack out of toilet roll holders and stuck it on with blue tac. Of course, I am joking, but please don't put such a monstrosity on a Kizi, it is outright sacrilege. People that do such things deserve cars such as the Ford Mondeo, the Vauxhall Astra, or the Honda Jazz. Come to think of it, any American saloon.
The Kizi is a master peace of visual car engineering, and whilst I don't want to go over the top on this subject, anyone putting a roof rack on such a car should be placed on death row, and fed on bread and water until somebody presses the switch.

I just added the Whispbar and tinted the windows and I think the car looks badass...better than before.

I'm with paininthenuts on this one. If you have a genuine use for a roof rack, I can see putting one on for the exact instant you're needing it. But don't try to kid anyone that it looks anything other than hideous.

Lol. Well, I purchased the oem cross bars used on ebay to make it easier when skiing in the winter and hauling my bike around in the summer. I don't plan on keeping them on full time due to road noise but...now I kind of feel like doing it just to mess with people like paininthenuts
