Yakima stuff for holding an Outback?

I've been fishing from my Hobie Outback for about a year.  I just replaced my old truck with a new one and my old rack doesn't fit.  I put a Yakima setup on the hood of the new truck and have a Dry Dock stuffed in the trailer hitch to hold up the other end of my Outback.
 
I'm looking for suggestions on what kind of attachments can be used to easily hold an outback on the round bars.  Yeah, I could flip the yak upside down and strap it right to the bars, but I'd like to put a 2nd yak up there as well so I need to have them near the edges...can't risk them slipping even a little bit so I'm considering the various pads that mount to the round bars to help hold the Outback in place.
 
Anybody using something like that already on an Outback?  Which ones work for you?  Anything to avoid?

The second yak is a Hobie Classic, about 30" wide.  The outback is 34" wide.  That's a bit wider than the bars (oops) so carrying both means one has to be locked into place on pads or up on its side (if they're not too wide for the J-bars) or...

Thanks,
Thwack

I have the same problem when trying to transport my Outback and another kayak in my old Toyota 4runner.  My Yakima bars are just not wide enough.  For now, my solution is to slide the Outback in with the tailgate down and strap the other kayak upside down to the Yakima rack on top.

I also found that I could temporarily extend the width of my Yakima bars by removing the end caps and sliding in a snug fitting length of metal conduit.  it'll work as long as it doesn't stick out more than a foot on each side.  This way I could carry both kayaks on top.

Do you have any pictures of this set-up?  I'm curious to see it.

If you use saddles and transport it right side up, it doesnt have to be nearly as wide.

Saddles are what I'm looking for but I'm not sure which ones...wheeled ones in the back or just military press it yak onto front and rear saddles at the same time (in which case no wheeled Yakima attachments needed).

I have these, not Yakima, but they are very handy. They make loading pretty easy:

I tried saddles but they don't mate well at all with my Outback.  One end of my Outback sits over the cab of my truck and the other end is held up by a DryDock (attaches to my trailer hitch). That puts the support fairly far away from the center of the Outback and the hull shape at those spots doesn't work with the saddles for Yakima bars.
 
When I'm just bringing my Outback, I'll let it ride upside down right on the bars/pads and strap it on.
 
When I want to also bring the Classic so I have both yaks, I have a pair of hull-a-ports that mated fairly well with the Outback and should mate similarly well with the Classic.
 
I also picked up one of the extension bars to make loading a little easier.

Now, I just need enough time off work to load them up and hit the road...
 
Thanks for the help.

I planning to switch from 52" Yakima round bars to 66" bars on my 4runner to make loading and transporting two kayaks easier.  It might look weird having such long bars, but I'm sure it'll be more practical.

If you can find something like the hydro glide by THule they are nice because the kayak slides through them easily. Do not get any type of rear roller setup. It doesn't work the roller needs to be lower and out behind the car more. What happens is you have to pick the kayak up to a point where you might as well load from the side.

You might be able to make something yourself by stretching something like a seatbelt strap between two uprights.

I don't know what your aversion is to putting it upside down, because this how I used to haul twol kayaks, one upside  down and the other tilted siideways leaning on it.

This doesnt help ur problem but how do you like your hobie outback, i am looking into buying a kayak and am really interested in those.

Dang, I forgot about this thread and I'm two years late answering a couple questions.  Nothing like feeling stupid!  (sorry)
 
If anybody cares, I can take and post pics of the Yakima setup.  I've used it on short and long trips (300+ miles each way) with no problems.
 
I added a second extender to make loading easier.  I put it on the Dry Dock so I have one extender over the truck cab and one at the rear.  I just military press the yak overhead and set it on the extenders, hop in the back of the truck, and slide it into place.
 
When I bring both kayaks, the hull-a-ports go on the far side (away from the extenders)...first yak to get loaded goes onto the hull-a-ports and gets strapped down.  Then the second yak is loaded and strapped into place.
 
For strapping them down, I prefer the ratcheting straps to the ones that just pull for tensioning.  The ratchets keep the yaks much more secure.
 
As for how much do I like my Outback...love it!  I've fished lakes/reservoirs mostly but I've also had it on the Fall River (northern CA) several times and love it.  When I'm on the Fall River, I'm on the upper portion (above Spring Creek Bridge, below Spinnerfall Lodge).  The current is pretty light and going upstream for miles is no problem.

I have an Outback and a Sportsman mounted atop my Dakota. I use the Yakima 66" rods and lay them over top down then strap them to the bars. Holds up nice for a long haul. I took both of them up to the Sierra's and back, from the bay area and it worked out fine

I don't recall how wide my bars are but I'm pretty sure they're slightly narrower than my truck (I didn't want them sticking way out).  So, tipping one yak up in the hull-a-port was a reasonable compromise.  It makes the rig really tall though (no fast food drive throughs with that setup!).
