Default Truck bed tie down ring

I've scoured the web to no avail for a clever device that I can mount in/on the bed of the truck on the center line for tying down a couple of dirtbikes. What solutions are available?

Thanks,
Mark

I have these mounted along the inside rails of my truck. I am considering getting a strip put down the middle on the floor. The rings are movable and removeable. Very cool IMO.

I think this is what your looking for, I make my own out of Uni-strut and fabricate my own brackets, and this is very similar to how i like to carry my dirt bikes link=http://www.pickup-rack.com/motorcycle_rack.html]http://www.pickup-rack.com/motorcycle_rack.html[/URL]
Hope this helps

I take my post back, I guess I didn't read much past the title of your post. I would not crank a ratchet tie-down very hard against the product I have in my truck. I mostly use it to tie down my dog when he rides in the back, he weighs about 65 lbs. so needless to say he stays put a little easier than a 250cc dirtbike.

What about drilling the bed and installing some marine grade or stainless eyebolts? Just a thought.

I really don't like the look of them, but they have the pop up style rings that go into the stake holes that are on the bed. Not sure what the weight rating of them are. Are you having that hard of a time tying them down with the tie downs that are already in the 4 corners of the bed?

I think a company named Pingle manufactures wheel choks for motorcycles and tie downs that go in the bed of the truck which can be removed when you need a flat surface in your truck bed. Look on the motorcycle accessory sites like J&P Cycles.
