February 18, 200719 yr Does anyone have any suggestions for best way to load bikes in the back of a Transporter? It's the LWB Kombi with three seats behind the driver/passenger ones, and the load bay is just a little too short for a bike in there straight. Also, the tie-down points are really badly located.... Has anyone made a decent rack to go in their's? Have thought of a couple of examples, but just looking to see how other people secure their bikes...... thanks Edited February 18, 200719 yr by DanBeaven
February 19, 200719 yr The trick way seems to be , have a 2 person seat centrally mounted, this allows enough room to put a rear wheel either side of the seat, with the holding strap, from the handlebars to the mounting point directly near the rear light, putting the forks under tension and pulling the bike on full lock, towards the door hinge on the same side.

Nigel, it is a T5, have tried the bike that way round, but do you not find the mudguard hits the top/back of seats? Or do the YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE.
