Bought mine on eBay from North Carolina... had it shipped to Utah. It took several weeks, but was not an issue since I made the arrangements in January. All worked out fine.

Bought my Heritage Springer off of a photograph after having met the owner in Sturgis. Flew to Denver and took two days riding through some pretty sweeeeet country on my way home to Vegas.

I had all the parts for the first phase of it's transformation laid out on the garage floor before I even took possession. Man it was tough riding her stock!!! Got her home, put her on the lift the next morning and the rubber hit the road 2 1/2 weeks later.

I wonder if I would just be further ahead and rent a U-haul. Traveling from Texas to Michigan. Or is there a reputable company that could handle it
