Thanks, Mike. The crate is going to go lots of places so it is plenty strong.
Freud, the bike will have the fairing on it and the tail fits over the back half of the bike. The windshield will be taken off and on one side. Add my leathers, boots, and helmet to the mix. Plus, my rain boots, ran coat, umbrella, etc. and it will be filling up. There is enough room some souvenirs, like a single cylinder Matchless. Tomorrow I will be in your locale. The Triumph club rented a party bus and we are going to the Seattle motorcycle show.
