Awesome... Going to keep my eye on this one as I'm planning on using mine the same, but for a road bike rather than a muddy toy!

just picked up my new van and have been thinking about using the same bike mounting system.
I thave found these which looks a cheaper alternative. ( 20mm are avalible as well)

i looked at them but they only fit one axle size where the ones i have will do 12mm, 15mm and 20mm and it is lockable

this is true but luckily for me all my bikes are 15mm.
saves a bit of money if anyone is the same.

ImageNow that the evenings are getting brighter, I got the chance to build a battery box for the leisure battery and mount the split charger and fuse boxes to it

Nice design I'm thinking of a flip down single but may have to adapt the idea to incorporate a double as well.
