I'm just wondering where you tie the front of the bike to if you put the front wheel in the corner of the bed. My truck only has tie downs at each corner, down low. If I put the front tire in the corner, there's no way to tie it down.
Eeeeesh! I never had to work with only one tie down per side
Heeeeeaaaa!!!!! Ya! Pro-MOTED! to first lewie!
Any one know the difference between a PFC and a Lieutenat is?
The PFC has already been promoted twice! hahahahah!
I think I'm just going to take the liner out after work today. Probably the best option.
My tie-down points are 12 foot lengths of rope dead-ended on the top rail of the bed on all four corners. Been doing that for years and never been a problem. Rigging assembly plant machinery weighing in excess of 10 tons onto trailers for export is a part of my job so i'm pretty familiar with safely securing equipment and bikes.
Took the liner out last night. Measured it without the liner and it's 76". Measured the bike from edge of tire to edge of tire and it is also 76". Should fit now, might have to still take some air out of the tires to squish it in there. Probably won't fit after a spray in though.
I'm thinking of cutting out the center of the gate and welding an arched piece of metal up that bolts in place on the gate. Can have it all linexed.
sean: load it straight, temporarily strap down the front end with the method that suits you best...then kick the back end over at just enough angle to close tailgate. after that if you can i would run a tie-down and soft strap from each rear corner of bike to a tie-down point on the bed. this way the front will be cinched down and tight and you can also put some strap force on the rear to secure rear of bike. it will be fine that way. i've done it hundreds of times thru the years.
Good to know lunatic, if it won't fit straight I'll do that.
Well just got back from my trip and the bike fit with about finger width to spare without the bed liner. So it should fit with the linex as well. Looks like I have the liner sold for $50 too :)
What kind if bike and what size truck?
