electra glide in 6ft bed
#11
I have hauled my Ultra in my 2002 Chevy extended cab Silverado. It is a short bed. The rear axel of the bike is just inside of the bed, so the weight of the bike is supported by the bed not the tailgate. Even if it were on the tailgate, no more than one tire could be on it. That would not weigh anymore than two 200lb guys sitting on the tailgate. It will hold it just fine.

I have hauled my Ultra in the bed of my shortbox Chevy. I mounted my front wheel chock on a 8 ft. 2"x 12", so the bike sits on the 2x12, not just on the tailgate. I blocked the sides of the 2x12 at the rear so it could not move sideways, and screwed short pieces of 2x4 to the 2x12 on either side of the rear wheel to prevent the bike from moving sideways. worked good for me!
