    Any recommendations for a rear door rack ? needs to take 3 bikes.

    Thanks

    I'd recommend not having one that attaches to the rear door directly. The truly pimp option would be one of those swing away wheel carriers, which fastens onto the rear cross member, and then put a wheel mounted carrier on that.

    I don't know of any door mounts that take more than 2 bikes. You're in danger of peeling the skin off the door

    Man Rack Got one of these for my disco. Its the perfect partner for any landy IMO. Sturdy, heavy, and its steel so it'll rust like mad in winter!

    Just don't get one that mounts on the spare wheel. They put way too much leverage on the door and you can easily damage the door and/or the spare wheel bolts.

    Tow-ball mount is better, even with the additional faffage of it getting in the way of the rear door.

    Bike bags and a roof rack are another option.
