Ive always been skeptical, and just want to put the bike in the bed.. It might be helpful when I go down to the Tail of the Dragon in may

 

Holy fuck. Do you supply the lube too?

15/month for mine

 

I'd just put the bike in the bed; way more stable. Assuming the bike goes in on the diagonal from the drivers side front bed corner to the passenger side rear corner get two handlebar straps and run three tie downs from the front left, right and rear left bed cleats; If you don't have front bed cleats get a pair of these: http://www.jpmetalfab.com/products.html

 

$99 a year for me bit its just minimum coverage. I'm going to add some medical coverage.

 

I have these:

it was $8 for a pack of 5. 800lb rating. attached to the bed bolts

 

Probably not a great idea for such a long journey

 

That might work though maybe not with a bike on the diagonal so well? Basically I use the handlebar straps as anchors and then have two tie downs on each side for each handlebar strap. that way it anchors against four directions of movement and you don't have to crank down the straps as hard.

 

20 y/o
No accidents
No tickets
Full coverage

Also, my truck is more than the bike

 

This was a bike that I had for a little while. Dont have it anymore though.. I havent tried to put the FZ in the back yet, especially since Im lifted now

 

AC FTW haha. So many in one place

 

Definitely be harder post lift.

How much did you lift it?

 

I'd have gotten a DCLB if it came in a manual.

 

Swaaaaaaaap

 

OME full kit with 885s and Dakars. I didnt measure, but Im assuming 2.5"

 

I dig the grill change.

 

Not worth the cost. I'd rather get a Tundra with the access cab (which is bigger then a DC taco) and 8.1ft bed so I can put two bikes in the bed and keep the tailgate up.

 

$367/year ($30.5/month). Max coverage with USAA and motorcycle safety course discount.
