Sportbike chase rack for trucks?

showerfan · Dec 29, 2013

Anyone ever seen a pick-up truck bed cage that is made for hauling bikes to the track? Or a race-team support rack that looks custom built for trackdays? With built-in wheel chocks and gear boxes, etc.?

I need one, because I'm tired of trailers and I don't use my truck for anything else. Also need a fast, safe and convenient ramp solution for loading my Ducatis into the back of my Raptor. Any ideas? Vendors?

I know from first hand experience its ..... to load a bike I the back of a raptor.. the bed height sucks for it... I do it every other weekend (2 in the trailer 1 in the bed) I aswell would be interested in this...
I have never seen anything specific for this application.. my only thought is to get a pitbull TRS system to mount in the bed. it is flush when not in use and requires no chock or tiedowns of any kind when IN use... also you could powder coat or paint the base any color you like to match the truck bed.. to further disguise it...
as far as ramps or ease of getting the bike into the truck. well ya got me... I need two people to do it.. im short at 5'10" and cant walk it up myself even with a 4 foot wide 7foot long double ramp .

......! I'm trying to avoid getting one of those built-in hydraulic ramps that look built for Harley's and have about 16 different steps for loading. But I may go down that route. I have often been terrified and once *almost* dropped a bike because of the awkward weight and angles loading... And I'm 6'4".

Loading bikes on a truck is the pits! Enclosed lowboy trailer is the way to go, roll it in and you're done.

The money you'll spend on a hydraulic ramp will get you a nice rig with room for gear and tools.

I have seen quite a few minivans used to haul bikes (2) in the back. I hate minivans but between rolling into a minivan and rolling into a truck - I'd take the minivan any day of the week . .

just make sure you buy a long ramp, like this one is 9ft and folds in half. 9 ft HD Wide Motorcycle Loading Ramp harley ramps cycle dirtbike truck (94-M)

then stick a wheel chock in your bed to catch the bike and hold it up straight. The ramp folds in half and should easily fit in your bed with your bike.

if you really don't like loading a bike into your truck, then motorcycle carrier will be low to the ground and leaves you plenty of room in your bed to haul the rest of your gear.
