Spent a month looking for crossbars and stumbled upon this ruggedized kit. Purchased in January 2026. Shipping was free and they arrived within a few days. Installation was easy. My rails are silver so not sure yet but I may paint the rails black. I watched a few YouTube videos and one of the guys did that to match with the crossbars. I’ll wait for the nice weather before deciding. Nice looking regardless. Heavy duty. Happy with this product! PS I notice many want to install strip padding underneath the wind fairing. There is plenty of room / clearance so that was not needed in my case.
I initially liked the Alpha II RTT. However after a few uses it experienced a cracked roof. I contacted the company twice with no response. Think hard about buying a product from this company. These products are made in China, which can only compete on price. Very dissappointed in product, its cost, and the company.
