How to ship Handlebars?
I took the stock mini pullbacks of of my '08 FXDC and would like to offer them on the forum. How in the heck do you package bars? I've seen them arrive at the dealer just wrapped in plastic, but I would be afraid of damage during shipment. Any suggestions? I'm gonna offer them REAL CHEAP to anyone interested as soon as I figure this out. Thanks. Fred

go to a local car dealer and ask the parts dept for any long cardboard boxes they don't need. i work at a honda dealer and we always get parts in long boxes.. mainly accessorys, like running boards, moonroof visors, rear spoilers, etc.. i'm sure they'll have something close to what you need even if you have to cut it down some.. some accessorys even come packed in styrofoam blocks to keep them from shifting..

Foam pipe insulation. The black stuff used to insulate PVC and copper pipe. Lowes and Home Depot carries it. Comes in a variety of sizes from 1/2" and up.
Slip it over the bars, and pack them into the appropriate size box with that foam peanut packing stuff.
