Hey Steve, welcome to the Hubb.
That sounds like an exciting trip that you have planned.
The Central American Borders stink to cross. I crossed them in 2007, but I imagine not too much has changed in the efficiency department.
The Husky might be a bad choice to ship down there because of parts availability. You would probably be better off taking a KLR650 because they are tanks and if you were to have a problem there would be a greater likelihood of getting it fixed faster down there.
I took a BMW F650 and ended up regretting not choosing the KLR650.
You should checkout the travel/ bikes for sale section. A lot of guys end up selling their bikes at steep discounts in Argentina or Panama because they do not want to ride them back.
South America would be a lot more fun to ride than Central America in my opinion.
