any ideas on how to fit 400ex and 300ex in my shortbed silverado?

I used to put a Blaster and my Banshee in my pickup. I have an extra cab mazda with a standard bed. I used a rope to colapse the rear suspension of the Blaster and then stood it up against the cab of the truck. I would then put my Banshee in the bed normally. I would have to leave the tail gate down but with three tie downs on each quad I was not worried. Make sure that you tie the excess strap around the buckle after you tighten them up. You will also want to put some kind of padding around the frame of the bike standing up so it will not scratch or dent your cab above the rear window. Save your pennies and get a used trailer as soon as you can.

You'll need plenty of help, but just stand them both up. This will leave you room for other stuff. I used to stand my 250r and a 300ex and had room left over for gasoline, firewood, a shovel, a generator, etc. in an 87 shortbed Cheyenne. Then hook up to my RV trailer and hit the road. Just don't use cheapass tie-downs, get the good heavy-duty ratchet type.

racer I need to do that for my RV trailer. I can put one quad in the bed but I have to leave the tailgate up to pull the 30' trailer. Do you think if I welded a heavy duty tow receiver to the frame of the trailer, that I can find a hitch bar, weld it to an expanded metal platform, and that single hitch bar support a little over 300lbs accounting for the leverage. I just think it would be cool to only have to slide the rack into the receiver just like you were putting your hitch on...
