Damn

Damn Andy, I did not want to do that, but I guess that I will have to!

Yeah, unfortunately there aren't many good options for a Harley. How far are you towing it? Regular basis?

Mbrooks, well I wanted to put the Harley on the back of the Sports Trac and then hook the Sports Trac to the Motor Coach, but that looks like that is not going to happen. The Sports Trac is a company vehical, so I had little choice in what I was getting.

Think that I will do some modifications to the tail gate and extend that out with a ramp. See what that does.

They sell motorcycle rails, and the nicer ones have built in wheel chocks, but isn't the bed floor made of plastic? I'm sure you could secure the rail from under the bed, with some sort of cross member.

I had a sport bike that fit really nice in the back but i have a yamaha raider now. and there was no way for it to fit in the back. I got a trailer to haul it and even then i had to go and cut it to fit.
