Default Bed mounted box to hold tie downs and straps?

I haul motorcycles and want to get rid of my full width tool box and get something smaller that will hold tie downs, straps, jumper cables, tow strap and a small tool box. But I want the full length of my bed. I was thinking either a fender tool box (delta?) or a generic square box that I can bolt in the front corner of my bed. I just need the motorcycle tire to go all the way to the front of the 6.5' bed so the rear tire isn't on the tailgate. Ideas?

i agree fender box... im just dropping my 2 cents, but doing transtportation myself, i know the struggles, no where good and small enough but with room to store all your tie downs, tools, and what ever else you need.. thats why i use trailers.. on the flip the custom dumping flat bed i got on the truck now, is perfect for transporting motorcycles, dirt bikes or a single 4 wheeler, and i have an UNDER bed box (like tow trucks) with all my crap in them, booster cables, 6v booster pack, 12v booster pack, tie downs, chains, and air tools
