Yes. Shipped to Germany in 1986, and back in 1990.

Is there something that you're looking for?

I was required to drain the fluids. Other than that it went in my household goods.

In an old issue of Crusing Rider there was an article about this.I dont remember the companies that specialize in shipping bikes.
I would just do a internet search.
