A while back a few people had asked for some pics of a dirt bike in the back of a D-Cab short bed. Better late than never Also it was a muddy day at the track so my bike is dirty as hell.
that's the bad thing about short beds if you ride a lot....you can't kitty corner the bike so that the tailgate is closed because the bed is so freaking short. thats why i love my long bed. what are your tie downs connected to on the front?

I have always had to leave my tailgate down even with my 98 Taco so it doesn't really bother me. I moved my back D-Rings to the front bed bolts, I don't trust those cheesy bed-rails.
Wow, that bike just barely fits in the bed, doesnt it? Thats one thing I like about my fullsize truck, I can put my quad in the back and close the tailgate. At least that way, even if the tiedown snaps, I know my quad isnt going to fall out of my truck.
Nice bike by the way, Im a diehard Yamaha guy, but any bike is better than no bike.

Die hard Yamaha guy? Then why a Polaris Xc600? (had an 01 Xc500 myself, now a REV convert)
Good to see a dirtbike will fit in a shortbed. No hope of a sled back there. 6ft bed should, but she needs to be reversed.

i've been thinking about doing that. did you have to re-drill the pre-existing holes?if so, what size?

Simple, the price was right on the Polaris, so I bought it. If I could have gotten a SX 600R for the same price, Id have bought one of those instead.
As to the comment about being a "REV convert", Im sorry. I rode a REV 600 SDI last winter and it was enough for me to figure that Id never want one. Go ride a Yamaha Apex and you will see just how good that REV isnt.

No pre drilling required just had to grind off the collar on the back d-ring bolts to get the d-ring off. It was really easy took all of like 10 mins to do both.

Yeah but your full sized truck is a FORD man j/k Yeah I was worried when I bought the short bed d-cab that my bike might not fit. The D-cab was the wife's idea I am still thinking I should of gotten an access cab.
Yeah, yeah, dont remind me. The truck is just like the sled, the price was right and I liked it, so I bought it. If I could have gotten a Tundra for the same price I got the F-150 for, thered be a Tundra sitting in my driveway right now.
Oh well, 57,000 miles and counting down...

One of the reasons why I got the long bed... you can't haul anything in the short beds with the tailgail up..
I know the question has been brought up about how much room there is in the long beds vs. the short beds... Here's my raptor 700 in my D-Cab long bed with plenty of room to spare.
