will 2 sport bikes fit in ram 1500 bed?
Hey All,
I have a dodge ram 1500 reg. cab long bed (see siggy for pic) and I ride a lot with one of my buddies from work - we plan on taking a few REAL long trips this spring / summer, and I was wondering if you all know if two sport bikes would fit in the bed of the truck? I don't have the exact dimentions off hand but figured i'd ask. fyi the other bike is a gixxer 650 (and mine is the f4i) if anybody has pix of two bikes in one truck bed that would be awesome!
thx!

We put two in my F-150 6' bed. a 94 fzr 1000 and 01 929. They were two wide facing the same direction so one went forward and the other backwards and we had to lift the rear tire over the wheel well. Tight but do able.
I think the F-150 is not as wide as the dodge beds.

You sure can.
You would park one facing forward, one facing the rear. Use Canyon Dancer's along with ratchet-style tie-downs to secure everything down. If the bikes still have their rear-passenger pegs, hook 2 more ratchet tie downs onto those to make sure the bikes are properly secured. We drove over 4000 miles to California and back like this, and it worked like a charm. (though, it's a bit tricky getting the rearward facing bike up the ramp............help from friends is a must.)

They will fit, but it might be a bit tight. Just make sure they are not touching and that you don't crank the forks down to much. You want the bikes to be straped tight, but not to the point the fork seals are blown.
