One for the ex MOT Testers!
MarkCR750:
When I put my ZXR400 track bike on the road I took it to the MOT station with a brake light fitted, he made me disconnect it and tape it over before he would pass it with a daytime MOT, I had declared all the mods to MCE insurance, I rode it for a few days post MOT and then my insurance papers arrived stating “no modifications “, called MCE “oh no we can’t insure you if it originally had lights “ , bloody idiots, anyway long story short I cancelled, got a refund and apology, I then couldn’t find anyone to insure me at a sensible price so I put the road fairings/lights etc back on and got a normal MOT/insurance.
The only way to do this properly is to fit a projector with a dip beam facility and then get a full/normal MOT, otherwise you’ll run into insurance problems, I insured my CR with Bennett’s, they used their “chopper and custom bike†policy because of the amount of modifications, pretty much the only unmodified part on the bike is the front wheel hub, and even that has an extra disc bolted to it!😄

Whats the cost of the insurance Mark - at the moment its insured on the same policy as my other bikes but for fire, theft and accidental damage

This year I went with Footman James, agreed value 4.5k, mileage limit 3k, £152.00, didn’t shop around as I’ve always had good service with this company.
I’m hoping this thread doesn’t turn into one of those, “well I only paid £12.60 for my Brough Superior and that’s with an agreed value of 250k, and I’m insured to ride into volcanoes etc etc†😄
PS when I first insured it with Bennett’s it was just under 200 but with no “no claims†of course as I used that on one of my other bikes.

Thanks Mark - think the insurance thing has been done to death so I think your safe!

Ha, this tends to quite a calm and gentlemanly forum as well, I wouldn’t have dared mention prices on the Ducati forum!.
