I put our bikes in the canopy (cap) in the back of the truck but it's getting crowded back there, I like your idea, just throw the cushions onto our bed and put the bikes on the nook. I assume that's velcro or something holding the rear tires?
Are the boards the bikes are attached to screwed down? We travel a lotta rough logging roads, our bikes would bounce around a lot if they weren't anchored. Did you make the brackets for the front forks?
I purchased the Sunlite fork mounts at a bike shop for $16 ea. I screwed the velcro and the fork mounts to the boards. The boards are permanently screwed to the seat panels and flip over when not in use. If going down rough roads, I recommend putting a screw or two into the seat panels. Only one time did a seat panel pop up and move slightly on me during a bumpy road situation.
Since our bikes are worth several thousand $, I use a yardstash portable shed from CW to store them in when at a campground. It'll fit 3 adult and 1 kids bike, but it is tight.
