I use the Saris bones on my F25.
I mount it higher with the feet on the number plate so that I can get to the tow hitch when towing a caravan. This also allows me to open the boot door (cargo compartment access door to others) with the Saris still in position.
To prevent paint rubbing (or feet rubbing) the paintwork, I simply put some pieces of towelling under the straps where they come into contact with the bodywork. This has always worked in the past when I have towed upto 2000 miles with 2 heavy old fashioned bikes on the back.
