Anybody out there have first-hand experience with products they would recommend installing in an Elky to haul a full fize motorcycle? I need help finding chocks, tie-downs & D-rings, ramps, etc., as well as tips or "how-to" info. I would prefer something "trick" -- but will settle for just functional, as it will become permanently secured to the bed.

I had d rings in the bed and hauled a motorcyle from FLA to MICH. No problems encountered. The bike will have to be put in diagnonally in the bed. Just cinched down the straps good. The tail gate will need to be left open.

I have D rings in the corners of my bed, but as "gmc caballero" states you'll have to leave the gate down, I did with my tramp bonny>.
Also when you install the front rings put them on the top ridge, not in the dips, this way rain has to be alot deeper to leak. I used this stuff called 5200 by 3M to seal the holes. If you don't seal them you will get water in the back floor in a hard rain, or if you are parked nose downhill.
hope this is what you are lookin for.
