Do to recent demand, we have begun making our Honda Element 311 Adventure Racks again in small numbers. The reason for our recent production pause was simply due to cost. As we’ve all witnessed, costs on just about everything have gone up, and the same can be said for our 311 Adventure Racks. But many of you had reached out and asked for us to continue making these, so we have 10 Steel racks and 12 Aluminum racks in production. You can check out the progress on this update page.
Once we have an estimated shipping date, we may pre-sell these. Feel free to email us if you want to be contacted when sales happen.
