Thanks, Puddles. The 2x2 angle iron means each side is 2"? (Sorry, I'm a computer guy- my father-in-law is the mechanical one.)

I have a Thule rack that the bikes hang from. It'll have to do for a while.

I've also been looking at an ATV cover put on them to protect from bugs and stuff.

Yes, on the 2"... the hanging rack will work, but it'll be way up there to load... great to remove and install on the truck for side trips on the bikes... I looked for a cover also... ended up going to a canvas shop that makes boat, grain wagon covers. Has grommlets all around the bottom so that I can lace it below the bikes... needs to be tough stuff, lots of wind up there... cost $180.. Travel Safe :)
