This was mine as I fitted it... it was spacious and hollow so there was no issues what so ever...
Are you sure you've got the right boss !?
Infact .. are you a stage prior to the boss being fitted !?
Err think I paid £180 for the bars for the Clio but already had the bike holders. These are the top Thule ones.. They're about £90 each normally but I think Ford do them for about £60..
You can buy the cheaper ones but I'm a tart and love the ali ones !
You make an interesting point... But tow bars look awful IMO and really out of place on a 172 haha.
I'd be more worried about putting handlebars through the rear window on the boot lid with a towball one. Also you're covering lights and plates... Its all a major hassle I wouldn't want.
Bikes...
What's the issue with roof mounted ? My Thule kit is superb and had two bikes on the roof at Autobahn speed with no issues.

You can't fit a towbar legally to a 172.
I don't even think it's possible if you negate the law..
The 7 is quite noisy as it is...
That's 400 @7.1 / 9 (can't remember) for 40 seconds.
I need to get a newer camera.... :(
Or find a copy of light room.. Aperture does a few things I don't like when importing.
Been out taking some star trails again today.. oh and did my RDJ impression !

I bought a case and a screen protector with it. For the sake of a tenner and it turns up with the phone (I assume?) ....
Hopefully posted through my letterbox today or tomorrow ?!
