If it holds the front fork by clamping onto the dropouts, the fork doesn't need
lawyer lips. Just make sure the skewer on the rack is tight.

Hi All,
So, I just purchased a Yakima Boa roof rack, missing the fact that says
it's designed for forks with safety tabs (lawyer lips, right?). Anyone
using such racks with their Rivs? I can't use my old Yakima one piece
Steelhead because of the fender, hence the purchase of the two part rack.
Eric is right.

Agreed. I jam my Hilsen (no lawyer lip) with SKS Longboards onto my Yakima
Steelhead. A Boa sounds like a great solution - just make sure it is not
loose. It really takes a lot to screw it up.
The bigger risk to bikes on roof racks is backing into the garage with the
bikes on the top -
