I've been asked to drive into the mountains and help someone get their busted down motorcycle. If they can't fix it I'll have to haul it out.
My question is are the stock tiedown locations adequate using ratcheting straps to hold a few hundred pound bike while on a difficult trail? For those familiar with Tucson it's Charalou Gap.
I was thinking of adding some bed bolts which you can find in Performance Products. Like these:

Any and all comments welcome. Thanks.
P.S. I'm a stock vehicle, no lift. I've recently run The Gap so I'm pretty sure I can make it. Some lift would be nice but I don't see buying and installing happening by Sunday. If it matters, I'm looking @ www.xtremeoff-road.com Package C (SAWs, shackles and 5100's).
