    Short or long bed?

    Best options I’ve seen is low profile bed rack and a Yakima front loader or 1up USA tray rack

    I think op wanted to keep the front wheel on. Although I suppose you could still figure something out like this.

    I am trying to design a bike mount a lot like this but i would like to turn in the bars a bit so they dont stick out so far and stream line it a bit. However i am concerned with the bike not having enough support to stand up.

    I am welded in to the rear swing. Still TONS of clearance.

    I've also been running a 1up Rack for a few years and they have been bomb proof. They make single trays aswell if you dont have a hitch mount.
