Rambox + restraining motorcycle?

[1011555]

Has anyone successfully tied down a adult size motorcycle in the bed equipped with rambox. I asked because of course they're are tie down hooks on the floor but straps would nearly be vertical with the bike.

I haven't hauled a motorcycle in mine, but I'd probably use the tie-downs in the utility rails along with the lower hooks.

The utility rails would work, but some Ram boxes don't have them.

I think that i would take out the Ramboxes & use steel plates inside to fasten some kind of loop or fasteners to. then put the Ramboxes back in.

When the Ramboxes are out, i would seal the seams inside of the boxes to inhibit corrosion.

There is hardly any paint inside of the box that the Ramboxes fit into

Please disregard this post. Foot in mouth syndrome.

I'll try to take a pic next time I strap my sportbike in. I strap couple bits of frame around the engine covers to the points in the front of the bed then the passenger pegs onto the rear points. My dream would be to have a wheel chock that are on motorcycle trailers that slides into the front of the bed so I only have to strap the passenger pegs.

I did not know that some companies are Fully into the Ram with Ramboxes

Criss-cross the tie downs. L. handlebar to R. side hook, etc. I always tension it by pulling rearward on my bike also. Of course, I have an 8' bed.

My RamBox has tie downs in the lower 4 corners - on the walls. Will they not work?

The lower tie downs are great if you have a trail bike & you are not taking it to a Show

My point is that if you have a Full sized Harley, Indian, BMW, or one of the Classic motorcycles, like a Henderson, Excelsior, Ariel Square Four
I would want tie down points around the height of the tires, if not higher

If your tie down points are not mounted high, then you have to go wider than 48".
72" is what a utility trailers rails are at & even they usually have 15" rails around the edge
