Would you mind posting a pic of how your bikes mount?
I too have 3 hitch recievers in the back of the van. I had a tray using two of them - long story, no more tray, but I had a full size street bike on that baby.
I hang dirtbikes all over my van, front and rear, and am really looking for the perfect combo. I ride, and my two kids are pretty into it. I am thinking of shedding the dually truck, so it's time to get creative with the van.

Now I haven't hauled any bikes on the van at this point but plan to in the near future. The previous owner told me that he had no problem hauling all three dirt bikes on this rig. Now you must know that the rear springs are air bagged for added support.
Now as far as motorcycle racks....I had seen a nice rack at Camping World that was sturdy & adjustable to length. (I didn't look too hard knowing that I had mine) I do understand that not all bikes are the same length or weight so keeping this in mind, NOTHING beats having a custom rack made to fit your specific bike. It is costly but after seeing these racks I wouldn't go with the store bought rack. You put alot of money into your scooters to trust it to a flimsy support structure. I'm a Triumph man myself & I wouldn't want to see mine laying in the foreground of the rear view.
