How To: Fit A Dirt Bike In A 5' 3rd Gen With Tailgate Up!

@At The Helm makes a great tie down/wheel chock system that requires the front rail from a second gen that bolts in place on the 3rd gens.

Edit: he sells bed stiffeners for the rear as well. Top quality stuff. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the plug @cemented

 

I tried this in my 2016 Tacoma with 5’ bed with a 2014 Yamaha WR450F and it wouldn’t fit. I did not try cranking down the strap first so maybe when the suspension is compressed it would give me the inch I needed to swing the rear wheel over far enough? Or is my bike longer?

 

Necro thread!

Tried it with my 17 Honda CRF250L and it didnt fit, ill have to try it with my KTM 300 another time

Its a good idea... just a C hair too long

 

Yours actually might be, i think the Ktm is about 1.5-2" shorter. at 84" being more of a race bike. But hey, its not all about length, its how you ride it right? Keep telling myself.... :/

Model CRF250R
Length 85.9 in.
