Cali Exclusive roof / side rack

ArcticMatt · Jul 9, 2016

I wonder if anyone has details of roof racks still available or can be modified to fit the exclusive like these:

Hi Matt,
I bought one of these, Sherpa combi translift, for my van to carry a Kayak.
But once I hung it loosely on the van, it looked very bulky. I think it was more suited to windsurfers and surfboards, as it stands a long way out from the roof. ( I sold it ).

I like the idea above, with the quick release j racks, very smart!

I now use a rack for storing your Kayak in the garage, but adapted to fit the side of the van.

Cheers for that chaps. Aye the quick release looks quite smart indeed. I like your fold away idea too. Great inspriration chaps. Much appreciated :thumb

I think I might have found my solution on the German forum:

Just found an awesome post to which shows it better with a lovely installation of a solar panel.

Finally placed my order with Zoelzer. The following bits are on their way:

02122 California (roof)
02121-L California (left side)
02205 kayak hooks

I'm just waiting for the big bill when Norwegian Toll get their hands on it.

Let us know! I am wondering do they influence noise level on highway high speeds (we usually drive around 140 kmh)..

Haha lucky bugger. I'm lucky if I see any roads without an 80km limit in Norway! My UK AAB syncro couldnt even dream of those speeds!

Something we in Britain have to look forward to in a couple of years' time.

German highways!

I did over 180kmh with my one.. it is AXG with longest transmission. But 140kmh is good compromise between speed and economy.

I am not sure who is more lucky here, i would prefer to have closer to fjords and not need to go so quick there..

Aye you best buy as much gear from the continent now whilst you can

Well the roof rack arrived and it's now fitted with the help of my able assistant. The two rear roof brackets needed a little alteration. Looks like they were bent too far the wrong way. Take a look and see what you think
