Nice. But I would take the mesh seats off first. They make great bug catchers.

 To All,

After many years of pick-up trucks, trailers, and vans, I have finally worked out a transport for our USS custom made tandem (it is actually a 34” stretch on the Avatar 2000 frame design). I have attached a couple of epics. As you can see, I was able to use my old Quick n Easy canoe carrier with a mount for the front fork and a Saris trunk carrier for the rear wheel. I used two U-bolts in the right places to attach a fabricated channel to the Saris for holding the rear wheel in place. Four cinch straps hold the bike in place very securely.

This design makes for a very easy load / unload operation. We are very pleased with the way this unit works.
