MrDavo:
There's a K1 Candy Ruby Red tank and side panels on Menno's site - http://www.tanklackieren.de/.cm4all/iproc.php/IMG_7757wma.jpg/scale_800_600%3Bdonotenlarge/IMG_7757wma.jpg I've decided from looking on there and from what people on here say that Menno is the way to go.
I was looking for suitable boxes today, I can get a one off that costs more to deliver than the box costs, most companies aren't interested in supplying just one box. Then I had a brainwave - a customer of mine sells mobility stuff, scooters, walking frames etc, and sure enough he has a room full of unwanted packaging, waiting to go to the tip. He wasn't there today, but I still I came out of there with a large enough box, full of bubble wrap. It was only a single skin box though, the only doulble skinned one there was sadly ripped open. He's back Thursday, I'll go back for another trawl then, but it looks like the solution.
Any suggestions from those in the know for a good carrier? Also do they usually pick up as part of the service or should I take the box to their depot to save money?
Looking into the headlamp bowl, I realised that other than removing the indicators, I may not have to disconnect everything after all, as it all goes through one large hole, not one for each loom. After changing the handlbars to ones with internal wiring and getting the clocks refurbished, nothing in there scares me anyway now.
I'll still have to drop the forks to get the ears off, not sure if the yokes needs to be loosened or not, I doubt it. When it all goes back together I'll use the opportunity to grease my headrace balls (this thread should now come up on iffy Google searches ;) ) Also I have a leaking fork seal, dunno why as its brand new, maybe the fork leg is the problem, I'll investigate while the forks are off.

The set I sent to Menno last week was through ParcelMonkey with ParcelForce. Cost £13.80 inc VAT for 6.6kg, and you just drop it off at your local Post Office. I didn't pay for extra insurance which you may wish to do.

Today I just send 400/4 Tank and side Panels with D.P.D. (booked through ParcelMonkey) to Piki in Spain in plastic box total 9.9 kg inc £100 insurance & about £22 total cost inc. pickup VAT included... nice, snap lid, plastic storage box BTW for you Piki if you are reading this :) I think the parcel could have been heavier and still the same it's the volume that bumps it up.
I seem to remember sending my 500K0 tank & panels to Menno last year with £100 insurance was about £16 via MyHermes International service (drop off yourself). Just watch the volume 'cos once over certain volume limit they won't accept it.
