Ok, who are you with and how much? Have you admitted to any mods and how much did it, if any did it go up by?
I'm fed up with trolling through web pages only to say I've R1 forks and for them to say they can't quote
Thanks in advance, Mickey

- Bennets, £250 inc breakdown for both my Fazer and the Bandit.
- yes on both bikes, and no increase.

Seems good value. My last insurance was under £190 and was for 15 months. I got the reminder through today but without a price.
I'm just looking around.
I have had all the usual mods done.
-
I'm over 40, have max NCB (actually 12yrs) and my location helps.

I'm with Hastings, ~£80 fully comp but with no extras, I'm also over 40 with max NCB.
I have declared the Ivans mod on the basis that if I need to claim and they find this type of mod on the bike they may refuse to pay out. They checked with the underwriters who said that given my age and experience they had no problem with the mod, and I've checked that this is on my records with them.
I also declared my Nitron shock in the vague hope that if I need to make a claim they would cover the extra cost of replacing it.
Every other mod I told them about they said if it's like for like (indicators / end can / levers / seat / brake lines / screen ....) then I don't need to declare it.
I've had to make a claim with Hastings previously and it couldn't really have been any smoother, so they get my vote and repeat business.
I did check out Bennett's previously, they have a list of like for like mods that they will allow and anything not on the list you need to declare, once you do the price goes up considerably and when I asked about the Ivans mod a lot of teeth sucking happened to the point where I said don't bother.

I told them categorically if they raised my premium because of said items I would be going elsewhere.
You must live out in the middle of nowhere to get such a good premium.

My insurance is due later this month and Mike "Ivanised" my bike a couple of months back. I was going to declare it, but after thinking about it I've come to the conclusion that unless they removed the carbs and had them inspected by an expert I don't see how they could ever tell it'd been done. On the basis that I don't believe that would ever happen I think I'm going to keep my mouth shut. That's said I'm with BikeSure and they are pretty good on the "modification" side of things so...............

Hastings for me for the second year £118 fully comp a £7 increase on the previous year ,live in a large town and have full bonus
-
I've got fully comp on my Fazer and a GSXR 1000 K7 for £180 :D That's with Bikesure and I'm over 40 with full (well the max they give is 9 years) no claims.
No increase for adding the Fazer but I'm dreading what it'll be when I get the new Ducati :eek

I think I'll give Hastings a call. I'm with MCE at the moment and have just been quoted £156 Fully Comp.

If you call them and take out a policy over the phone you'll pay a surcharge. Either use one of the price comparison websites or Hastings site to put all your details in then call them with the generated quote reference and say that you just wanted to go through the details, make sure the price was correct and declare any mods ......... that way you won't pay the surcharge.

I've just been quoted £119.39. The chap said i wouldn't be charged the surcharge.
I've a few more to try but so fart they will probably get my money.

Yeah not worth making a stink over a few quid :rollin
-
That's what I thought.

I am with bennetts on bike I just px'd for a 2011 fazer. I rang them to change cover and was told old policy would need to be cancelled and new one started. Went through the usual quote gibbons and was given a quote for £538....! Went online and after reading here did Hastings £470...! Finally went and did quote online with bennetts and got better cover than on phone for £360.
Why is online over £150 cheaper? Called them to cancel old policy and gave new number to avoid charge.
-
Absolutely madness to be charged that much more.
-
bennetts £100 fully comp. just over 50 so I guess that helps, I'm going to Ivanise my carbs soon but I won't be telling them either, as already been said they will never know
