Bike in a 05 Ford F-150

[dmoon64]

Hauling a bike in the back. The tie downs that are on the side of the bed seem awfully weak. They bend in when I cinch the Guzzi down. Does anyone know of tiedowns that could be bolted to or under the bolts in the floor of the bed.

 

Thanks,

When I had my Chev, I drilled holes right through the bed and top rail of frame in the right spot for haulin a bike. Installed serious eyelets and wide washers from the hardware store.

 

Had hesitations about putting holes in my brand new baby... but then I realized it's a bloody truck and meant for such treatment.

 

Never had a problem haulin bikes after that. except my regularly broken down buddies from the vintage brit club had me on speed dial...
