[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 28376, member: 27"] I just found out my employer will not cover the cost of shipping my motorcycles as part of my job relocation. The company that is coordinating the shipping has quoted me $2900 per bike just for crating. Is that the going rate? Seems high to me. Unfortunately, I will not be taking both Vins, just the Comet. I just had the Comet tank repaired and painted. To help protect it while in transit, I pulled out a NOS John Ulver leather tank cover, note it doesn't have holes cut out for the fuel and oil fillers. I bought two back in the '80s, and used one quite a bit on the Shadow while riding across country to a couple of North American rallies. When installed correctly they fit nice and tight.
