Bud....you're right, I would have to eyeball the bike before buying. That's just the way I am. From my research shipping is going to add a minimum of $650 to the bike. That to me is ridiculous. The U-haul motorcycle trailer is $14.95 a day. That's reasonable. My son-in-law has a new Dodge Ram 4 Wheel drive pick up. Not the best on gas but I won't be bogged down on any low hill climbs either. I would limit my search to a distance of no more than 8 hours driving time. I did that when I got my Shadow and that was just fine. I did it in two days and it was perfect. Of course I could always go to a bigger trailer. That sort of the whole point of this inquiry.

I believe that Fredrider used a U-haul motorcycle trailer once and I'm anxious to hear what he has to say. Fred would you have gone to a bigger trailer?
