    Do any of the Tacoma/Motorcycle enthusiasts have a solid fold tonneau cover (i.e. BAKflip G2)?

    Looking for a cover that would accommodate a full size dirt bike (450) - concerns that the front tire will contact the cover while its folded up. Have had no luck finding any pictures of a setup with a bike in a taco with a BAKflip cover.

    Appreciate any feedback, thanks!

    My buddy has the BAKflip and he has to rest 4 4x4 blocks against the front bed wall in order to push the front tire back enough that it doesn't hit the tonneau...

    Today's full size dirt bikes are running a 21" front tire. Street bikes have a smaller tire and may tuck under the tonneau???

    Thanks for the input!
    I am looking for a secure cover to lock with the tailgate - which lead me to a solid fold (a little more tamper proof that a vinyl?).
    The 4x4 blocks in front of the tire should do the trick, was thinking about some kind of wheel chock that may work but wood is easier to deal with and cheaper. May end up putting the rear tire onto the tailgate (normally kick the back end to one side and can close the gate) - then the next item may be a bed extender.
    Bike is a RMz450 which has a 21" front tire, and unfortunately won't tuck under a cover...

    the BAK Roll-X should work for you too, rolls up pretty tight

    Any update on this? I

    'm considering the bakflip G2. As mentioned, I also want a hard, folding cover that I can lock, but can also fold up for rolling bike in. Good idea about stacking wooden 4x4s, I have some and may try that.

    You are responding to a 5 yo thread but I had an older bakflip in the past and it only takes a few minutes to remove it completely if needed. Same easy process to reinstall. Highly recommend a bakflip.

    I realize this haha, but I'm sure things haven't changed much. Plus this may be good opportunity for people to respond from experience after having had one a while. Also, people always get pissed for starting a new thread for the same previous topics.

    Thanks good to know. Sounds like for our truck, there is the G2, F1, or the fiber max. So I'm basically trying to decide between one of those.

    I'll plan on just taking the tonneau on/off when I put a dirtbike in the back. That way I can still see the bike too, if it's upright and such.
