    Sorry I don't have any pics. I just used cheap foam blocks designed for a kayak or canoe then tie down the bow and stern to the truck so it doesn't rock because the rack isn't spaced far enough. Iv even used large pipe insulation from the hardware store that works well for a surf board. I now have a canopy with Yakima attachments.

    I want to do this too with my factory rack, I've been hauling a single 14.5' sea kayak with Yakima "Even Keel" saddles.
    It looks pretty tight to try to put another set beside them, so I'm thinking that at least one of the kayak cradles will need to be the "J" type racks.
