The FoldAway-J uses coated steel with oversized padding and a dual mount that stops side-to-side shifting. Universal brackets fit most round, square and oval aftermarket bars and many factory systems, and two bolt lengths help dial in the fit. Cam load straps and bow and stern lines with S-hooks are included.
