Ramboxes should not interfere with tying down a motorcycle. You can use regular tie down hooks or the attachments in the rails of the Ramboxes. Having said this I have not transported a motorcycle in my current truck with Ramboxes. I would use a front wheel chock.

 

You might have trouble fitting 2 bikes wide - No pegs extending into the area with the wheel wells if you have ramboxes.

 

I missed the whole point. I didn't see the "2" bikes. I should have payed closer attention. Sorry.

 

2 ???


Nope... won't happen. Well... not without them touching. The Ram Box leaves you with a 4' bed width.

 

Just curious, based off personal experience or just guessing?

 

Found this on the net.

 

You have 49" width to play with it might be possible but it will be tight that's for sure

 

you'd have a hard enough time fitting 2 dirt bikes in there, let alone 2 sport bikes. As much as I love the idea of the Rambox I couldn't imagine losing that much cargo width (for my truck uses, anyways)

 

Sorry to revive an old thread. Thought I would add a picture I found on the net to help give some perspective to others (Like Me!) coming across this thread. That's probably a 600cc sportbike. Maybe a 750. If anyone else has pics of motorcycles in a Rambox equipped bed, the pics would be greatly appreciated. Also, please indicate whether your bed is a 5.5' or 6.5' ft. Thanks!

I think that same picture was posted on page one of this thread.

I don't have Ramboxes but did look at them closely before ordering my truck. And based on previous experience hauling 600cc and 749cc sport bikes, I would say Dr Honda was spot on with his suggestion that the only way to fit two would be to reverse one of them. I wouldn't personally want to do that, as there would be no good way to compress the front fork on the bike put in backwards. I never would have considered that with my Honda, not to mention the Ducati...

 

Thanks. Guess I wasn't pay close enough attention. Would still love to see pics of bikes loaded into Rambox equipped trucks. Would make for good reference.

 

The Ram boxes are a niche. I love mine . I actually use mine everyday.my problem on a 5'7" bed is when you install a toolbox across the bed is the amount of space you lose. Plus I could not reach in the middle of a tool box

You guys loading bikes and quads into the truck beds have my admiration. I watched a guy hurt himself loading a quad when it tipped off the ramp. I mean he got hurt.

To do that with a motorcycle and actually ride the thing up a steep ramp into the bed takes big ones. Surely it holds one bike inside the Ram boxes. Surely that one bike would not be mine unless it was an emergency. That's why I have a 5 x 8 Anderson trailer. Easy ride up, on and in. Same with the toy-hauler trailer I have.

Buy a cheap trailer. You will find lots of use for it and maybe save your butt for some riding fun on the road.

 

 

Like anything else, use the right tool for the job and it's easy and safe. The knuckleheads you see on YouTube are using ramps that are too short and/or flat.

 

Lol. Exactly.

 

Right tool. Easy as it gets.

 

Guaranteed, you put any of those three girls on that Harley and you will see a "funny" crash. Even the guy riding it has to be careful where he places his feet. That "Big Boy" is not like a whole trailer tailgate.

Then there are other issues. Notice the hold-in straps attached underneath. You have to crawl down under that thing after setting it up and fasten the straps. I have seen that before. After a use or two it's such a pain you don't do it.

Folding that thing up lengthwise and then across means it's just a question of time before you smash a finger or two in the mess.

Of course, that curved shape is good for ground clearance under the bike going over the tailgate - as long os the cables or linkage does not break as it did on my Duramax. Tailgate crashed down and I was dumped in a heap at a truckstop in New Mexico. Remember that well.

Oh, where you gonna store that thing? It does not fold flat but if it did, you still have to put it somewhere. Where is that "somewhere" you are going to get the workout storing the thing. Be careful a bump does not throw it out so tie the darn thing down.

Been there. Done that decades ago. Except for a breakdown where my Harley came home on a truck I flagged down back in the 70's, I would not do that again.

They also don't give you that contraption for nothing. Add a little more coin and get a small 5 x 8 trailer.Then if those little girls have nothing to do, send them my way.

 

So. About those bikes pictured in the back of Rambox optioned trucks?

 

If it's only 4 ft. wide inside the rambox, I say "no". Two will not fit unless you turn one around backwards and do a good "sandwich" job.

 

How about 2 atvs? The one is just an old Suzuki lt 125 but i fit 2 in there.

 

Is that a sunburn I see on your neck CG? Nah, probably the natural color!
