Thule 987XT 6-Ski Adapter for Thule Hitch Mount Bike Racks Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Not bad - doesn't fit shaped skis
Comment: I just fitted this to my 998xt rack. It fits fairly well, and feels pretty secure. It's well made, and comes with all the accessories you'll need.
The downside is that it's impossible to get my shaped skis (Rossi Bandit B3s) into the rack the way they suggest (back to back). They do fit, but less securely, as individual skis. This reduces the capacity to 3 pairs of skis, and not 6.
Also the height of the rack, even with my relatively short skis, is insane - the tops of the skis stand a good 2 feet above the roofline of my SUV.
To be honest.... I wish I'd bought a roof rack, and just stuck with the Thule rack for my bike.

Converts Trailblazer, Hitching Post, Expressway, Rak-N-Loc, and Spare Me carriers to ski carriers. COMPATABILITY AND RESTRICTIONS:The 987xt carries 6 pairs of skis and 4 snowboards. The 987xt is a carrier and requires the purchase of Thule bike carrier to carry equipment. Not for off road use. Hitch carriers will increase overall length of vehicle, use caution when backing up. Do not operate without carrier in upright and locked position. CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS: Structural steel, black powder coated.Non marring rubber cradles. Rubber straps.
