If it weighs less than 150 pounds UPS or Fedex ground might be able to ship it.  The shipper would probably need to build a crate as something that heavy would probably not survive in a cardboard box.

  hi brian its about 60 lbs and less then 3 ft long

[Uglydog56]

That should be shippable.  I just received 2 big block chevy cylinder heads via ups; they are about 30" long and 80lbs each.  I've also shipped a roadrace transmission that weighed 108lbs plus crating; the UPS driver scowled at me that day.

[belfert]

You're going to need a really good box to handle 60 pounds, but UPS or Fedex ground can easily handle 60 pounds.  The best packing material would be the two part foam that expands to completely surround everything.  I have received plenty of shipments in the 40 to 60 pound range that barely survived because they used a plain single layer cardboard box with inadequate packing material.

i would use fedex. i live in country near salem ore, dont know any bend bus guys .. and fedex will pick up when i call them and charge my cc business acct.
if its boxed and 60 lbs they should just do that for you.

John, If you can get it down to me in bakersfield, I will take it to the get together at Bk's in Aug. There may be some one there that can take it to where you want it. That is after I try it out to see how it runs.LOL

Let me know

Don

It sounds like you have somewhat of a collectable item AND in all honesty, I would call a company who builds shipping crates and have the come by and build one to hold this item.
It may sound like overkill, but you can rest easy knowing it will arrive in one piece and not damaged.

I think Fedx and UPS will ship up to 6' foot lengths, so your crate would fit within limits and it would be protected.

Good Luck!

If Don gets it. I will pick it up at BKS and bring it the rest of the way. Then I will put the fender for the scooter with it and bring it closer.

May have to try it out also.
