Thank you for the shipping information RS Rider.
For curiosity and future reference I will see what are the rules for importing to B.C.
I did register a bike from Alberta that had never been registered before. It will be interesting to see what paperwork it takes to get a bike out of the US and in to BC.
From time to time there appear to be some good older K's for a reasonable price in the US, even after currency conversion.

I have imported many vehicles from the US and overseas in the past 20 years. I think you will have some trouble meeting both the US Export documentation requirements as well as the Canadian Import requirements with out some form of title signed over to you. These documents must be sent to the border crossing and approved before you or your shipper arrives there with the bike.
I am not sure about importing parts vehicles from the US but form overseas they can not be in a condition that can be re-assembled. Cutting them in half doesn't even meet this standard anymore.
It has been a couple of years since I brought a bike up from the US so rules change and you mileage may vary. I am sure any of the reputable motorcycle shippers will tell what is required right off.
