sawtooth Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Whats the best way to fix 2 trials bikes in a 6ft x 4ft pickup bed? The bikes are a little over 6ft so tailgate down? Bikes on a diagonal? Pictures would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh014 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The easy answer would be to go to a local meet and observe how other fello riders transport their bikes. I regularily haul two bikes in my pickup and made a bed width bracket of 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 square tubing with two sets of tabs to accept the front tires. It's bolted to the front of the bed.

nh014 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Just found the web address for a company that makes a bed bracket. See www.fuse-powersports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have a VW Rabbit pickup that is really small but I can get 2 bikes in and close the tailgate. What I do is put the bikes in with the front wheel turned sharply into the front corner of the box. The bike is not 6 ft. long when the wheel is turned.

sawtooth Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Some good info, i can get one bike in as it is if i have it on a slight angle. Am in the middle of fabricating something similar (but better) to the Fuse Powersports Box Bar above for when i have 2 bikes.

beta_trials Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I live here in the states and to get from event to event with two bikes i have a 85 chevy pickup standard cab standard box pickup and i can easily take two to three bikes to any event. Im in the process of building a wheel chock that bolts into the bed where and existing light bar used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
