OK, the most important thing is a valid US motorcycle license, but I seem to remember you already have that.

Are you sending a shipment of personal goods? Not just what you can carry on the flight? We're having a devil of a time getting quality tires for our medium-displacement dual sports (JH600). If you know what bike you'll be riding and have a favorite tire, send in a set or two. (Too many, though, and you'll get hammered for obscene import duties.)

I think you've got the right idea: Personal gear that you especially like is best brought in. Once you are here you learn to adapt to what's available in the local ecosystem. Taobao, rather than eBay or Craigslist, is your friend.

Shaoxing, right?

travel safely!
