danbeaven Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have any suggestions for best way to load bikes in the back of a Transporter? It's the LWB Kombi with three seats behind the driver/passenger ones, and the load bay is just a little too short for a bike in there straight. Also, the tie-down points are really badly located.... Has anyone made a decent rack to go in their's? Have thought of a couple of examples, but just looking to see how other people secure their bikes...... thanks Edited February 18, 2007 by DanBeaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ask greeves Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The trick way seems to be , have a 2 person seat centrally mounted, this allows enough room to put a rear wheel either side of the seat, with the holding strap, from the handlebars to the mounting point directly near the rear light, putting the forks under tension and pulling the bike on full lock, towards the door hinge on the same side.

Agreed, can't really do much with the seat positions. Nigel, it is a T5, have tried the bike that way round, but do you not find the mudguard hits the top/back of seats?
