As been posted many times on this topic, do not attempt to import your Harley. 99.99% of the time, it will end up locked away in customs with you paying twice as much as its worth. Its just not worth the risk. If you have to have it and dont care about registering it and will risk riding without plates, then its actually easier to part it out and ship via balikbayan (but of course not legal).

They have a Harley, Indian, Victory, etc dealership in Manila and will be opening up one in Cebu. Just take off your custom parts and buy a used or new bike.
