I am keen on getting a bike rack as well. Anybody has fitted one already? Need to source it somewhere in Europe.

Fitted my bike rack today, using a Yakima hinge and a costco ebike rake.

Yakima BackSwing hinge, maximum load capacity 113kg total including. Uses the2" receiver, which is what everything in Oz is based on. Makes life so much easier

If you have to ask, I guess you are not a cyclist...:D
My cycling days are over. The only thing with two wheels that goes between my legs - has a Honda engine!!

This is my current solution
Why the rear wheel forward and not the front one? The fork without the wheel can stay on the folded seat without other modification, when the rear wheel can stay on the rear deck without lowering the bike saddle. Ive not built my bicycles configuration yet, but I've made all the necessary measurements, and even the very high positioning of my Pinarello saddle needn't to be lowered...

The seat tube is a dropper post, so that is it’s normal lower position.
This way I can easily support the front end with no wheel, roll it in, and drop the fork into the mount.

I need to make some better pictures and sort out the lightbar cable, but the ISI rack keeps the dust away and fits perfect.

Aside from the original adherence to the philosophical concept of the Grenadier, one of the first reasons why I was interested in the project was precisely wanting to abandon transporting my bikes on a bike rack attached to the spare wheel of the Defender 90. Traveling with valuable bikes exposed to everything, positioned transversely and protruding tens of centimeters from the shape of the car was a fact that annoyed me. Every maneuver in confined spaces, such as boarding a ferry, turned into anxiety, not to mention the weight added to the poor rear door of the Defender, already weak on its own, and which forced me to fit a heavy bracket by Nakatanenga. Furthermore, the Grenadier is already so long that adding the bulk of one or two bikes seems excessive to me...
