I have seen a bar with quick releases attached that is designed for use inside people carriers and vans. From memory you remove the front wheel of each bike and then attach the forks to the bar that runs across the floor from one side of the van to the other. I am sure that would work for you.
Can't remember what it was called though.0 -
Got it!
I was thinking of BikeInside, but also found the Thule Bed Rider, which hopefully fits the bill.0 -
Minoura do something that might be suitable as well, distributed by Zyro so it should be widely available.

that should give you the Zyro catalogue page in pdf...if not it's on page 1190 -
That bikeinside was exactly what I was after
Thanks very much0 -
Glad to be of service! Can you do me a favour and report back on your thoughts on it if you buy one?0

I did something a bit cheaper on my Navarra.
I bought 2 delta fork mounts

and bolted them to the front C rail behind the cab. This way they're always there and don't take up so much space as a seperate rail. Also the bikes are locked to the truck so it makes it a bit more secure if you have to leave it parked.Just Keep Pedalling0 -

Thanks for that Graeme, I am liking the look of those brackets.0 -
Those brackets are alot cheaper than a rail , however don't know if they would fit my L200 don't want to bolt then to the truck bed0

You can always just fix them to a plank of wood and lay that in the bed.
I didn't have to drill anything in my truck, I used an extra strip of metal as a backing plate and just clamped it around an existing fixture in the bed.Just Keep Pedalling0 -
Yeah I suppose that would work . L200 is devoid of extra bits in the back0
-
I have a L200 Warrior. There are no fixings at base level but presume straps through drainage holes could be used.
I'd rather not drill any new holes and worsen rust possibilities.0 -
I'm the same prob just save my pennies and go for the fit for purpose rack0
