good luck. i dont know that you will ever find one depending on your bike. what kind of bike is it? if its a smaller dirtbike you may find one but if you have someting like a XR400 or big CR or CRF or equivilent thats gonna be hard. why not get a small trailer or something?

don't know if this camper shell would work, this is what I have on my truck. I think it looks funny though. I can take a height measurement latter if you would like. It is a Leer.

I don't know of any that will fit my YZF 400.

Best hauler non Taco would be the panel van...

Of course with a true panel you don't have the windows for prying eyes.

Most MX events and Hare Scrambles are flooded with them.

Its not a solid shell but it will give you a shell and the ability to get your bike in there.

+2 on the hitch hauler etc. I see them on craigslist for $75 to $150. Occasionaly I see ones that have a hydraulic jack on it to lift the bike up, no ramp. Pretty cool. It will screw your departure angle if your are wanting to drive off road, then you would need an off road trailer.

Thats gonna be a goofy ass shell. I had to remove the rims and compress the suspension on my yz to BARELY fit it in with a shell.

its a short bed on a 2wd frame with 4wd axle. has a spare 4.10 3rd just floating with 33x12.5 on stock alloy rims (painted black)

the wheel wells are still there.... i has enough lift i could be able to cut them down some but honestly dont know if i will. yes the raptor fits like a glove...

hm..if you were to cut the wheel wells i'd be afraid that the tires would throw rocks all over my quad???

but you could like lift the bed itself like 3in (body lift?) the cut the wheel wells and put just a flat plate over the hole???

Your not gonna be able to fit the bike under the softopper. Its no taller than a regular cap. I was just sayin that you can have a cap....and then put it down without any help from others to get the bike in there.
