Anyone found a rack that fits a Touring and can hold a bike high enough not to cover the lights and numberplate? I've got the standard little spoiler on the tailgate and no towbar.
I've got one of these -

Which doesn't fit the rear screen of the Touring, it wont go round the edge of the glass.
I then got a roof rack and put 2 of these on it -

After I did all that, my mate sold me this for half price after he sold his car with a tow bar on

I'd go for the roof rack option if I didn't have a tow ball.

I originally had one of these.....

Then I managed to find a towbar with a detatchable ball, so now I've got a towbar mounted rack similar to Kieran's.
Personally I prefer towbar mounts, having the weight of two or three bikes strapped to the tailgate worries the crap out of me.
