Yakima Load Bars

I was originally going to get Thule Aeroblade bars with Rapid Crossroad feet, but after researching it more, decided on the Yakima Whispbar. Main reason was that the only Aeroblade bar that will fit the Ex is the 60", and the raised rails are 50" apart, so the bars would overhand by 5" on each side, and I thought that was too much. If they would have made a 57", I would have gone with the Thule, as the Whispbar loses a lot of storage space. I have approximately 39" of mouting space, and my cargo box(Thule Atlantis 1800) will take up 34" of that. So I might be able to get one bike up on the roof in addition to the box. The box shipped today, so i hope to have it next week, and will post a pic once I have it installed.

Here are the bars. No noise at all, and minimal additional height over the factory bars.

Look nice, I like those bars, I have the OEM bars now, but like the look of yours. Have part #s or the name for Internet search good enough.
