[Guest]

Anyone know cheapest way to ship a 650 engine. Have someone on here in need of one and I willing to let mine go for almost nothing and get it shipped if it will help him get his bike on the road. terrylee

I just used them to ship an engine from Texas to Kansas city.

Numerous carriers bid on the Shipment or you can name your price which eliminates the back and forth.

Independent and larger carriers.

$145 for my engine from a certified and insured carrier.

I used RPS, they went depot to depot for about 80 cents a pound. This was a few years ago but the rates are about the same. I had to shrink wrap it onto a pallet, I think they gave a better rate if it was palletized.

Thanks, I have heard from interested party in a few days. Anybody know what a 650 engine might weight? I'm thinking 200-225 lbs? terrylee

The 1150 engine I shipped was right around 225.
