Use fuel hose on the legs. If too thick to properly fit the rail gullies, buy some clear, appropriately-sized flexible hose from ACE Hardware.
Remember, however, your fuel mileage will be a little less (some people have mentioned here; although, I personally say), and some racks like to whistle.

I have what I believe to be a 70's VW of America rack that makes some awful noise at speed. The easy fix is to wrap some rope or a bungee cord around the bars of the rack to break the wind up some. |
