Check out these pics. I had my dealer fabricate this. Cost me around $300-$400 bucks. Well worth it to me.
Good luck,
Mark

No, never have. I will have to check our Landmark to see if the bikes hide the plate on it. The picks you saw were of our old 2006 Bighorn.

These are some nice bike racks, but I saw one bike rack that was monunted on a Trail Air hitch. Someone on the forum had made one and I was intrested in seeing how it was made.
Those that have bikes, in what price range of bike are you using. I have one and it is rusting quite badly. I would be interested in a 3 speed bike I could ride and so could the DW.

Bob,
I bought my bike rack from a bike shop, the brand name is Saris. I fits in a 2 inch receiver. The angle cross bar and the mounting feet is 1.5". I think I used 3/8" X 1.5" Grade 8 bolts and nuts. I used brass fittings and pipe to make the air valve easier to access.
I will let you come and get a close look in Spring, Tx.

I took a look at the logistics of building a receiver on the back of my BH 3670 RL and then decided to install a receiver on the front of my '07 Dodge Cummins 3500. This works well for me. I can see the bikes on the rack in front of me and they do not interfere with the air flow or block the license plates. I don't like the idea of not being able to see the bikes in behind the rig and in fact have seen some bikes coming loose and being dragged behind the rig! I can remove take the bike rack off when not using it and it is a simple solution for me.
I tried one of those ladder mounted bike rack and it was junk. I decided to take the front wheels off our 2 bikes to see if they would fit
in the basement storage area and both bikes fit. We have a 2008 BH
3055 and I still have plenty of room for the rest of our stuff, You might try this idea and you know you will save money and won't scratch up the paint on rear bumper area.

I just got home from the local bike shop. I was looking at the Yakima system. It was recomended to me at the Goshen rally. Nice setup, I think I will be getting that. I was parked next to Terry H at the rally and looked his pinbox mount over pretty good. I would go that route, but with my short bed truck it looks like the bikes will make contact with the cab. Great idea for a long bed.
Peace
