I'm planning on using my ST to haul my motorcycle on some long distance excursions come next summer. I've got new tires for my ST, added some additional tie-down points and I've done a few other mods to make hauling my bike either safer and/or easier. But one thing that really bothers me is the fact that the spare tire is not accessible with the tailgate down. Personally I would like to kick the butt of the engineer that decided that. :fire:
Nonetheless, having a tire problem on the open road, and having to untie the bike, position ramps, unload the bike, etc, etc on a leaning truck would be more than a PITA. I could of course have the spare in the bed (and Ill probably do that) but has anyone figured out a mod that allows the spare to be lowered with the tailgate down?
