Didn't like seeing my bike bouncing around the back spare with a cheap ol rack and didn't want to spend 400 on a sturdy one so.......













2x4, some simple hardware and this fork brace. Supplies were $ 4.00 and brace was $20. This thing is sturdy! Plus now I can enjoy post ride beers and leave the bike with no worries. Anyways thought I would share.

 

Looks good. Did you mount the 2X4 to the floor or does it just sit on the floor?

 

How did you tie down the rear tire?

 

The 2x4 is mounted to the floor with two 1/4" bolts and the rear tire has one of those rubber bungee cords through the wheel to the frame of the folded down seat

 

I used to do something like that with my pickup, I'm trying to find a very simple way to do that with a 2 door.
