Just fitted a pair of Whispbar roof racks that I bought on Ebay for $285. The interesting point about these racks is that the cross bars are an airfoil shape to minimize wind noise. One of those brilliant ideas that makes you wonder why someone didn't think of it before.
They look great and I think they do work as claimed. They were really quiet until I turned into a 25-30 knot head wind yesterday and even then the noise level was quite reasonable.
Obviously the sharp rear edge of the airfoil may create some issues in terms of the attachment of suitable straps but most straps with metal hooks will fit OK.
Rated to 70kg which should suit most toys.
