Suction Cup Mounted Kamm Back
 
Has anyone done this?
Suction Cup Mounted Kamm Back
If not, I'll lay claim to the idea

Suction cups are good...but I'm not sure you want to depend on it sticking all the time. Would hate to be following the person who was though... :(

fail-safe
 
Just my opinion,but I'd be reluctant to depend solely on suction cups for attachment.Maybe back it up with a handful of ' short-leash ' lanyards just as a fail-safe in case the vacuum goes south.
There's enough stuff laying in the road already.

check out seasucker bike racks

seasucker.com

harborfreight.com and many other places sell lots of vacuum suction cups that I think would make a great platform for attaching a Kammback that can be easily moved from one car to another...

Every suction cup thingy I've ever had fell off eventually.

That's what I was thinking. In terms of "infrastructure", I think the trunk-mounted bike racks are best for making a Kamm-Back :

The good part is that it is removeable. The bad part is that your lose direct access to your trunk.

Any idea on where to buy Seasucker style cups at reasonable prices?

What do you call reasonable? I would guess "used" fer the price point yer looking at. Maybe if you buy in bulk... ;)

You could design yer own without infringing on their patent design or intellectual property. :D

There might be other suction cup devices out there that might perform in the same manner. What are you looking to hold? ;)

dremd 01-15-2011 03:21 PM

$25 each could be reasonable, those are more like $50 each.

BamZipPow 01-15-2011 04:01 PM

Maybe you could adapt this suction cup...it's got a 80lb pull. ;)

...or this dual suction cup...it's got a 125lb pull! :D
