Many thanks to all for their posts on this topic.


I decided to go with the SeaSucker Talon to shuttle my son's bike back and forth to college.

This was our first go at this. I of course was nervous for my car and my son was nervous about his bike. Kids these days! He really needs some priority adjustment.
It was a 350 mile trip (in the USA) from Maryland to Ohio. I stuck mostly to the interstate highways. These were twisty enough! Plenty of semi trucks, wind and curves. I did not hold back (too much). We also encountered a bit of rain (nothing extreme). We arrived safe with no indication of loss of the suction with the mounts or shift in the bike's position. No indication of any paint damage as well. Though I'll inspect the mount area closer during my 86's next bath.

There were some disturbing noises from the roof panel where front mount was placed (see photos below). This mainly occurred at low speeds while driving on local roads.

I had not seen any photos of the SeaSucker Talon in the forum so I thought I'd post them here.
