I sold my HD to a collector from Japan, and he shipped it home via air. The only requirement fluid-wise was that the gas tanks were drained and had venting caps (for air pressure changes at altitude). We had it drained and crated at the local HD dealer, using a Harley shipping crate he purchased. Usually the dealers return the crates, but you might ask your local Honda dealer if they'll sell you one of their crates.
