Securing yaks on roof bars is always a problem. With the Prowler I use a motor cycle locking chain through the scuppers but with the SINK the Easky just has a little bar behinh the seat to thread a cable through.
So I thought I needed something more visual.
I went into Wickes and the sell lengths of chain. I brought two and took them into work and having worked out lengths I got one of the engineers to split a link and weld it back into a loop.
The loop then slips over the end of the yak and slid down until it's tight
Then take trailing end through roof bars and tightly back on itself and padlock it d,o this both ends and yak cannot be slid out of them.
Highly visual security and alsoextra holding of yak from lateral movement. OK so bolt croppers will do it but opportunists will be put off.
