    I have a bedslide too. That raised the floor of the bed by 4 inches. My Z125 would not fit under my cap (when I had it)

    There can be catastrophic damage to your motorcycle on some models using this type of “dolly”. The rear wheel spins and so does the output shaft via the front sprocket. Due to how the oil pump is driven off the crank there is no oil pressure or lubrication unless the motor is running. There is no lubrication to the output shaft bearings or the bearings on the related transmission shafts. Depending on the sump type and the transmission design there may be no oil to even splash lubricate.

    Can’t say there is 100% guaranteed damage but the risk is enough for me to avoid these types of dolly’s.

    I have the Bak flip G2 tonneau cover and I found a pup tent that fits the bed with the tailgate down and the entry to the tent is at the narrow end. So you have a place to stow your gear, haul your dirt bike, and sleep at night. I do the mountain bike riding and this is the plan I have come up with.
