Frequently asked
Motorcycle Shipping: Open or enclosed for a Harley?+
Most cruisers ship open on a dedicated moto trailer with no issues. For chromed-out customs, garage queens, or anything with custom paint, enclosed is the call.
Motorcycle Shipping: Do you crate?+
For bikes over $50k or anything fragile (vintage Vincent, Brough Superior), yes — we coordinate crating and custom enclosed transport.
