Transportation van

In about 4 weeks time I will be picking up my MK Indy R Deluxe kit + ZX12R engine. As I come from Belgium I think it is the easiest/safest way to use a van to pick up my stuff.

2 questions:
* What is the minimum size of van I should look for to transport the MK Indy Deluxe kit + removable full roll cage + ZX12R engine ?
* For the people in Belgium or near by: I can also bring over some smaller parts from MK if you want?

I would hire something with plenty of room,like a Merc Sprinter long wheel base,if you have a full kit,and a cage and a engine kit,you don't want to come all that way and damage anything trying to get everything in a smaller van,its not like you can just pop down the road for a new piece of fibreglass etc.

When I collected my kit, which was every single part of the kit including the engine and all the nuts and bolts, I hired a LWB Transit van. There was plenty of room with some space left, so hire the biggest van you can get and you will be fine

what ^^ said. I did that and it all fitted fine. Get hold of some straps and bubble wrap if you can to protect various parts that aren't covered by MK and strap things down e.g. engine.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"
