Think about your timeframe and locations for pick up and delivery of your bike. Be ready with the year and model of your Harley, as well as the dimensions. Include as much detail as possible, and consider your shipping service options. You can choose between an open trailer or an enclosed trailer, though most Harley transport is done on an enclosed trailer as it’s the safest way to ship a bike.

How to Prepare Your Harley for Shipping

- Ensure you have collected all the necessary paperwork
- Remove any personal items from your motorcycle
- Check your tire pressure and add air if necessary
- Check your gas tank and make sure it’s only half full to avoid spillage
- Make any necessary repairs that would cause an issue during transport
By preparing your Harley for shipment, you can rest easy knowing that you did everything you could on your end to avoid any problems during the shipping process. Be sure to consult with your carrier before pickup day to see if they require anything to be done.
