Thanks guys knew you wouldn't fail to give me great advise. Yeah was wondering about finding a Canadian shop that could do the work. I am out West in Edmonton and found a trucking outfit that would ship for around 380 Cdn so that would be x 2 . I built a crate and lined it, weighs in at 133 lbs with a house scale, friggin heavy.
Just wanted a reputable builder is all and we all know Chuck is the man. Long ways to travel but was always willing to pay for the best. Just nervous of shipping and having it lost at some brokerage warehouse.
Any suggestions on Canadian builders that have experience with the 2T Yamaha?
Regards,

Hello forum members particularly to the Canadian members. Been on this site for awhile in the back ground reading and learning.
I was very fortunate to find a barn find 1976 RD400C , was under a tarp since 1981 in a barn. Long story short I stripped it down and was amazed at the condition of the inside of fuel tank and the seat which had no tears. Well I stripped it down, blasted the frame and primered it for now. Ended up buying another fuel tank and a seat that donated its seat pan to mod, didn't want to destroy the originals. Odometer reads 3100 km's so it wasn't rode alot, brother in law and his brother rode it mostly backroads around the farm.
Any how I was going to ship it to Chuck, but little did I know all the hoopla that one needs to do to ship it stateside, Customs brokers, fees and taxes. I am asking any Canadian that has experience with shipping a crated engine to the US?
Thanks in advance and enjoy all info this site and its members produce.
Regards,
Lorne
