Crate & Ship

 

For shipment to Alaska and Hawaii, over water transportation requires your bike to be fully enclosed in a crate. KGM offers this service. Our crates are constructed out of steel and cardboard. They are top of the line crates made specifically for Harley’s but will accommodate most makes and models. We also offer custom crates for that special crate job if needed. All motorcycles have a minimum of four tie-downs to ensure the safety of your bike.

In the crating process your bike will have the gas drained and the battery disconnected to meet shipping standards. Depending on the bike, some disassembly may be required for it to fit in a crate.

For bikes being shipped to the lower 48 states, transportation may be arranged without a need for crating.
