Was packing my top end for shipping and it freaks me out to ship this thing. Debating on driving down to drop it off for porting.. But thought if ask if anyone happened to be going that way anytime soon. Total weight around 30lbs not very large.



Thxx !

Im heading down to buffalo Thursday to pick up parts and a trans jack etc so that is the plan.. to ship from there since im pretty sure it will be cheaper. Cost isn't really the concern though Im more worried about ill handling and it being lost/stolen. the other thing is Ive started packing it.. and to get over the border Ill get hassled as usual so I will have to undo all packaging and take all the supplies with me and package it there.

In the past I've left the box open, just in case there are questions.Never had an issue yet. Brought along a roll of tape to close it up after clearing the border.Places like CBI will give you free tape also.
