RTT on Rola Vortex with extension

I have a Rola Vortex with extension mounted to my Sport rack with lowering brackets. I just picked up a Yakima SkyRise 3 RTT at a sale and am thinking about how to mount it. The Yakima comes with quick-release clamps that fit different cross bars but can be rotated so that they could possibly fit the side rails of the Rola rack. The weight is 120 lbs. Has anyone mounted a RTT on the Rola rack? I would assume the weight should be fine but would be good to get some feedback. This is a DD so the RTT will only be one for trips.

Just did a 5-day trip through Death Valley. RTT mounted on the Rola rack. Worked well and the Rola rack felt really stable. Did up to 75 mph on the freeway. I ended up ditching the Yakima mounts and adding some Tepui tracks with the standard brackets. The height of the basked makes it easy to tighten the brackets with a ratchet.
 
Definitely good to know for those looking at spending 1000$ and upwards because they were told they have to have a aftermarket roof rack. I have mine mounted on my stock rack and is very solid and sits low so its a tight fit to tighten but works like a charm.
