Years ago, I worked at a motorcycle shop. We used to ship frames via Greyhound. All we had to do was wrap it up in something, usually carpet padding. Im not sure if they still ship large items though.

As long as it doesn't weigh more than 70 pounds, UPS should be able to ship it. It will probably be oversized, but take a look here.
