Anyone had personal experience with shipping with Forwardair,do they make you drain the eng oil and coolant as well as the tank. Thay say on the web site all fluid's must be drained,but do they inspect that close,sure the tank has to be drained but eng oil and coolant? Thanks for any info Rob

I just had my dad's bike shipped to AZ from NY and ForwardAir was great. For the extra $60 we used one of their crates. Simply walk the bike in, tie it down, and your done. They only required that the gas be drained from the tank.

3 days across the counrty and only $541. Go with them, you'll be happy you did.

I used ForwardAir to get my 'hawk from Kansas City to PA when I bought it. Was under $400 at the time, including their container. The only thing they wanted to be done was drain the fuel.

I wasn't disappointed and would definetly use them again.
