    I wonder if you can export via Hong Kong, perhaps there the import laws are a bit more lenient.

    Thailand allows you to import your own bike , but apparently at 70% of the market value to be paid in import tax , sorta like buying your own bike twice and then there`s always the chance your crate is delivered Thai style , arse up ?
    There may be other ways but i`d say it would be more trouble than it`s worth , then again ?

    Yeah what are their rules regarding one being dismantled and in what context do they mean dismantled and also what are there laws regarding the regestration ?
    As always never say never but yeah , would be interesting too know , i guess it would come down to something like persistance , costs , contacts in the right areas and seemingly a time consuming process ?
    And regarding the still high Aussie Dollar , has that still not come into account with the Aussie Dealers at all , in it`s intirety , i mean regardless of HD Oz reinbursing some dealers for offloading Roadglides at 24k as mentioned elswhere here abouts , I imagin that they would still be breakin even , rather than sellin at any sort of loss ?

    PRC regulations ban motorcycles in many city centers and on elevated motorways. Regulations make it difficult for consumers to buy and ride motorcycles—mostly because it is difficult to get a license plate. Plus, China has a compulsory scrap policy that dictates all bikes must be scrapped after 11 years. China's regulations were set some 20 years ago when conditions were quite different. The smaller bikes that were mass produced then were generally of poor quality. Road conditions and traffic management were also poor. The bikes caused safety, traffic, and pollution problems. These bans still remain in effect today, even though motorcycle quality, road conditions, traffic management, and rider profiles have all changed.

    Harley has signed a memorandum of understanding with Zongshen, which one of the largest, if not the largest, of China's hundreds of motorcycle manufacturers. This is basically the only way to get a start in China. You partner up with an existing company just like the car manufactures do.

    You could just progressively send it over there and put it together but unless it is under 11 years old you can't get it registered. To import a new bike fully assembled ready to go you need approval from the authorized dealer, they are taking responsibility for compliance. Can't see MoCo doing that for you.
    There is always the option on not registering it but any bike that sounded remotely like one here would attract way to much attention. No plate also means no insurance. Have a stack or what ever and you could end up in some very serious shit.
    Not sure what the situation is with Hong Kong or Macau registered vehicles in china or if it is any simpler to import and register in those places.

     Whatever you import or export from wherever to wherever, man, you gotta do ya homework big time, A mate of mine bought a BMW convertible from Honk kong , It was one of those older john player special models bmw made a fair while ago, Got it here and on road in aus at 1/3 price of aus models, Even though a late eighties model, had heaps of electronics, ect. An electronic module shit itself meaning the electric door locks, seats windows and some other shit wouldnt work, No BMW dealer would touch it or check problem or sell any parts for it including service parts and still wont. Mate bought two modules of wrecks and they dont work, He thinks BMW may download a code into module but they wont tell him shit.

    Found a backyarder that fixxed some shit but not all, bmw consider it a grey import and not a vechial you brought back here cause you lived overseas and bought and drove it in that country. Many if not all o/s BMW dealers wont supply parts for it as well. Do your own homework.

    That really pisses me off Mick, It's OK for the MoCo to source cheaper parts overseas, but when it comes to the consumer sourcing parts / items overseas the MoCo's treat you like Lepers.
    This is what the MoCo's want, why can't the consumer have the same options?
