I told my insurance company, although it's a while back, and they said that they were only interested in modifications to performance, handling and braking. Basically stuff that would increase the risk factor of a claim.

Nothing major for me just braided front hose, told them just to be sure and they said they are fine

Re: Front end modding and insurance - darrsi - 18-10-14

See, i don't get some of the things i looked at last time i got insured.
When asked about mods i obviously wanted to declare my exhaust so hit the 'yes' button and then a world of pain popped up.
There was a list so big, and worse still quite a few applied to my bike, so as i knew i wouldn't be using that company anyway i ticked what applied to my bike and it resulted in something like a 120% increase on my eventual premium.
I can understand things like heated grips, because even though they are highly beneficial to all riders, they are of course electrical so a botch job "could" result in problems, but one item on the list that stuck in my mind as an extra to be declared was.......a tank pad??? :rolleyes
What the foc is that all about?

desirable item I suppose and fairly easy to steal. I've not mentioned mine, never crossed my mind to, heated grips either

You wouldn't put an insurance claim in for a stolen tank pad?

Here's a few from Bennetts:

Re: Front end modding and insurance - darrsi - 18-10-14

I've got the wrong end of the stick here haven't i.
That says "accepted as standard", presumably meaning these are okay to change but no need to declare?

Saying that, i remember when i opened up that drop box it was asking me to tick where applicable.
If they are accepted as standard then why even put them on there in the first place?
