OH NO IT ISN'T!!

I've had a CN Custom policy for 5 x years (on 3 x bikes) and previously had to list all modifications & provide pictures of the "main" bike (a heavily modified modern Royal Enfield).

Trying to renew this week, I mentioned the non-E-marked cans on the Monster and they said "not covered, and any claim would have been thrown out immediately". I pointed out the main bike has a non-E-marked "goldstar type" silencer that I had listed years ago, and they said in that case it also wasn't ever covered!

All my silencers have passed recent MOTs with no problem, but Equity Red Star via Carole Nash are only happy with e-markings.

I'm now looking to re-insure elsewhere as, having been made aware of this issue, I can currently only ride my standard ST4 (such hardship!).
