Here's a simple way to get a little more cargo room. Pictures show a half stack packout fits nicely over the wheel well. I used the slim version but the thicker half stack packout would also fit without protruding past the wheel well. The packouts are expensive enough so the hardware I used was...
I like to pack my motorcycle in the bed with a gate extender and it just barely fits. I'm trying to find a hard cover that will still allow me to sit the front wheel all the way forward (touching the cab)with the hard cover folded all the way up. Has anyone seen any hard covers that fold up...
Is your hard cover folded all the way up? I'm looking to get one that I will still be able to haul my motorcycle in the bed but every hard cover I see seems to take a lot of room out of the bed even when folded all the way up.
Yes that's the one. I am 5'9" and my throttle felt too out of reach when driving the GS up the ramp. Even when I put a step up next to the tailgate I wasn't comfortable with the stretch. I ended up securing a plank next to the ramp so I could easily walk it up the whole way.
I was sweating before the ramp came because I wasn't sure it would fit! Pretty happy with what this little truck can do! Drove it around town and didn't even notice the weight difference with the hybrid.
It is pretty self explanatory when you get the hardware. They give you a bunch of options so don't think you need everything they send. I used the larger silver pin and screw that pushes right into the tailgate's door latch as well as the loop that just hangs on the same rod as the tailgate...
Compact Ready Ramp works great with my BMW G650GS. The motorcycle has a wheelbase of 58in so straight in there isn't quite enough room for the bed extender to sit on the back of the gate but strapped in it seems to be supported well enough. I love the dual purpose of the ramp.
