I'm being thick here but what do you say on the insurance form about bike mods!

If you're daft enough to click on the modification part of an online insurance form, like me for my exhaust, then a whole box of options pop up.
You'd be amazed at some of the things they class as a mod', like engine or fork crash protectors for instance!
Surely they'd be put on for the benefit of your bike if you had a prang wouldn't they???  :rolleyes

It's a nice conversion, but why? Just buy an R1 or a FZ1.

Not if you declare the mods to your insurer....
As much as I love messing around with bikes the way insurers are nowadays I'd just buy a thou, bring back the old rider policy....

if you don't want 1000cc power keep the 6 and just make it handle better through a twisty bit of road that 6 will beat  a 1000  :lol and is still cheaper to run
if you think that's mad you should see mine  :D

I see it never sold, i wonder what the reserve was?

Impressive job.
All it needs now is a nice stiff alloy frame off, say, an R1 to handle the extra power and you'd have decent bike. :lol


Anyway, apologies to Wraith... I seem to recall saying (about 6 months ago), that it probably wouldn't fit.


Still think it's a guaranteed way of spending a huge amount of time, effort and money to produce something that'll sell for about 10% of what would make the venture worthwhile from a purely economic point of view. Fine if it's a hobby and you're intending to keep it, but this guy is clearly going to take a huge loss.

exactley any amount of mods is only worth it if you are going to keep it . thats why i ended up doing mine most of the time it is fast enough i live in north london and rarely get out of hear except fore the odd track day or drag race
