I used to haul my 1000 lb Road Glide in my Ranger.... many cross country trips with no issues. I did put air bags on the rear, with the S40 that won't be needed. I also have an S40 and sometimes would take that instead of the HD.
That poor tailgate! :E :B
Bike in the truck is a perfect way to go. It's my plan as well, but I don't yet have the truck for it. Maybe in a few years. For now my bike just goes on a hitch carrier, but it's a light(er) weight dualsport.
The tailgate has no weight on it. The bike is sitting on a rampage lift which bolts to the bed and sits about 1/2" above the tailgate. On my new truck, I typically take the tailgate off before putting in the lift.and then the bike. Now I'm taking a 750 HD... a lighter bike that is easier to get around on as most of our rides are from whatever CG we are at to maybe 100 miles away. Don't need the big cruiser for that.
