Travelling with a DH bike

[HimynameisMike]

Heading overseas with my dh bike. What are peoples opinions on removing the forks when packing it in a bike bag?
Guess the main reason Im asking is being dual crown forks they're a bit more annoying to remove than single crown.

I'd only remove the forks if I couldn't fit the bike into bag/box with them on.

Also this thread would be better placed in the travel section.

And here are some other similar threads you may find useful. They are a bit older, but all came up easily with a site search. The first one in particular has plenty of good info:

There's plenty of others as well, thanks to the power of Google.

If they fit in the box, I'd much rather leave them on myself and just remove the stem (to keep the bars in the right spot without having to fiddle later).
