Seems if I do either the folding cover or the retractable cover, I'll need the cargo extender to keep things secure.
I can't see another way to carry the bikes in the bed. I could always get a hitch mounted carrier but I'd rather use the bed.

On the motorcycle front. I have a Goldwing and definitely wouldn't want to load that beast into the bed!
