    After looking at some real nice setups some guys did, I came up with my own version of a bike mount on my hard cover. The others seemed a bit too pricey for me, so I found some inexpensive bike racks on Amazon ($27/ea), and picked up a couple pieces of aluminum stock from Home Depot ($11/ea), for a total of about $80 with hardware - plus another $20 for shipping of the racks from Amazon. So grand total of just about $100. I wasn't concerned with it not working, as I really don't care much for the hard cover, and ruining it would give me an excuse to get a soft topper :) But it worked perfectly, and the bikes stay up on it very secure. Took a 300 mile round trip with them with no problem.
