Yakima Fork Lift Bike Carrier
The Fork Lift Bike Carrier represents Yakima’s first ever direct-to-factory-crossbar fork mount bike rack. Easy to install and compatible with almost any fork with disc-brakes, the Fork Lift comes ready to work. The sleek design sits low on your factory rack and looks hot on top of your whip. Yakima’s SKS lock cores (sold separately) let you rest easy knowing you won’t get bike-jacked. The easy to adjust sliding tray makes positioning the rear wheel a breeze, and the integrated adjustment knobs allow for one-handed access.
Bottom Line: The Fork Lift gives new meaning to the phrase “Nice rack.”
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
2 on Outback Factory rack

Been using 2 of these for the whole summer in Jackson Hole. Both are on the factory rack of my 05 outback. I was nervous when i bought em that two bike racks wouldn't work on the factory rack, but they work fine, w bikes of all size.
Did one longer drive, about 4 hours to sun valley. Got going pretty fast at points and the bikes were fine.
I read it was easy to put these on and it wasn't a lie - I was surprised to be done as fast as I was.
If you don't want to change out your factory rack this is the bike rack for you!
A good choice for 2009 Impreza

Like another reviewer here, it works well so far on the factory roof bars of my 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport - even though Yakima has yet to list it. And it does not interfere with the hatchback. Holds bike firmly, easy to use and easy on the eyes. I bought the SKS lock cores to go with it, and normally put a brightly colored cable lock through the crossbars, frame and rear wheel as an added visual deterrent.
Only con so far is that when empty, it does generates some wind noise at higher speeds, not the whistling or annoying kind, but you know it's there. Never had any other type of roof rack, so nothing to compare it too.
Change me.
