I recently saw a Tule rack on the rear door of a Westy.  This was set-up for
bikes (The owner said he could get five bikes on, and lift it with just
two.)  It had one Tule bar attached across the top of the door with the
forks mounted on the bar.  The rear wheel of the bikes rested on the bumper
(I imagine you can just bungie them down).  The rack was attached with
mounts for a gutterless.  For Taurus that someone gave him.  If all you want
is to mount bikes, this seems like a great system to use, but I think other
bar type systems can be used in addition to Tule if you can find the right
mounts.
