I've no idea, I did ask this question a year or two back as I was looking for some sort or Pro motorbike carrier for my big bumper Cabby. 

I own a 1973 Honda ST70 (monkey) which I restored about 15 years ago.  Although I've not used it for the last three years, I'd love to Carry that on my back to Wörthersee Treffer in May this year.  

That would be so cool :thumbs:

Can anyone point us in the right direction please?  :thumbs:

I also ride enduro  :thumbs:

I tried to strap mine down in the back of the caddy but it was too nice to spoil.

However I put some mounting o rings in the drain holes either side of the bed but the metal isn't strong enough.

It depends now how mint the bed is to what you do next. If it's going to always carry the bike make a cage that bolts in the bed (my mates do this with a navara pickup). If not then hire a transit for the day.

My mx bike went in the back of mine diagonally with the tailgate up so there wasnt and back and forth movement. I then only needed to strap it down so it didnt fall side to side. My truck has tabs welded to the upper most part of the load area sides. These allow for two ratchet straps to be tied around these and the fork crowns to stop it moving. Although using eye bolts or similar through the bed would also probably work.
