Ideas for bicycle transport!

Post by sc00ter »

O.K., I quickly found out that this Baja is a pain to haul bikes with! I have a Rans Fusion and a Electra Chopper that are too long for a hitch mount rack and also too long for a roof rack. I think that the bed mount rack would interfere with the Snugtop fill-in (local dealer is of NO help!). A load bar on the bottom (infront of the pass-thru hatch) would be ideal, but I cant seem to find one or anything that would work. My original idea to use fork mounts on the rear roof bar got shot down when it was found that the sproket on the Electra would hit the rear window. ANY IDEAS and/or pictures would be a great help!!

As soon as I get a camera I will post my simple yet cool solution! Still curious to see what others did. Now have no problem loading and SAFELY transporting the bikes.

The Sierra Coast Bike rack is a good way
