[A/S] Custom Bike Rack



Hi List, 
Hunter ask for some pictures of the bike rack I had custom built for the
back of my tow truck. I already had the rails that run from front to back on
each side of the truck bed. They are just some standard tie down rails you
get at any truck toy store. I bought the Black portion at a local Bike Shop.
It was a two bike rack that plugged into a square receiver. I took off the
parts that hold the bikes and used them. The loop in the cable you can see
is looped around the frame of the truck. I run a second cable through all
four wheels of the two bikes, and the frame of each one. I then lock the two
ends of the second cable to the loop attached to the truck frame. You can
see that the top of the bike is above the top of the truck, so you must be
aware of what you drive under.
I tried to include a picture of the "Computer Station, Hensley Break
controller, CB Radio, my GPS unit, and the SmarTTire display in the truck.
The combination of all the bike pictures and that one overloaded the "Photo'
section of the List page, and did not allow the last picture to upload. If
there is any interest, I will try again. in the near future.
