Bikes should be transported stand up, wheels down.
Tieing down on a stand stresses it and the chassis with a load it was not intended to carry.

Agreed. On the wheels, stand up.

Put something between the front of the bed and the tire so you don't break the fender.

Strap the bike to the front of the bed.

I like to use a device called a 'Canyon dancer' or if your my mother 'Candy Dancer' That goes over the bars and lets me tie the bike down, You can do it without the device however.

You can put your straps on your windshield mount if you have one, or the mirror mounts, or even wrap them around the headset itself on each side.

Done.

5.77 feet according to the manual, Which means my F150's got a 6 foot bed :)

I've done 2 stellas side by side in a Honda Ridgeline before, which also has a 4 foot bed. With tailgate down the rear wheels rest in the crease where the gate meets the bed. No issues in my experience.
