    Does anyone make a removable tri-fold tonneau cover that can fit with a motorcycle tie down bar? (Some examples of the tie down bars I am considering: http://ccrsport.com/protrack-motorcycle-transport-kit-mid-size/ or http://ccrsport.com/bed-buddy-motorcycle-tie-down-truck-rack-mid-size-57/). I want to be able to have a hard tri-fold cover that locks, but without having to remove the tie down bar every time.

    It would be ever more awesome if it has a storage box, like the personal caddy for fold-a-cover or bakbox for the bakflip, that would work in this situation.

    Here is one that will really blow your mind... and bank account. Of course you would have to give up the bed cover.

    Actually I see they are still in development so no price tag yet.

    I saw that before I had my Tacoma. It looks like they were available last year about this time (at least according to their facebook page), but no more information and their website is not longer up. But that would actually work for what I need, and at that point wouldn't even need a tonneau cover.

    I really like that cover, but the 21" front wheel of a dirt bike will come in contact with it. I don't think I would want to remove it every time I loaded a dirt bike, or add a wheel chock to the composite bed.

    Here is a post with a dirt bike in an F-150 (which has a deeper bed). thttp://www.f150forum.com/f118/bak-revolver-x2-cover-2015-f150-304406/index7/#post4267877

    The leer trilogy seems to be quickly removable. But now I am trying to find one with front access as well and lockable.

    I think that link shows the wheel chock on a wooden crib. Someone else on here did something like that but I think chocks were added to a removable thick rubber bed mat. Just take it in and out as needed.

    Bed mat = $100
    A couple of non-removable wheel chocks = $50 (guesstimate)
    Then get the bed cover that has all the features you want and locate the chocks so you have the clearance when the cover is folded or rolled up.

    Starting to think this is the route I should have gone... :facepalm:

    I will have to see how my street bike fits. I have no problem adding a front wheel chock if need be.. I like the fact I can see out the back window still. The tri fold would have to be removed for sure for me.

    One thing I made note of in the "what have you done today" thread is that mounting any of the box head board style racks would be fine for a couple of dirt bikes. Even with the steel bar installed the composite head board still makes me a bit leery of anchoring anything street bike weight to it. I would have gone with wheel chocks in the bed somehow if I was moving anything other than dirt bikes.

    I really don't need either or. But I will use a chock. I strap both front and rear. I really only like the front tire blocked to make it stable for me to stay it down. My straps are also rated at 600lb each. It's not going anywhere
