Declaring cans on insurance??
I recieved my insurance renewal from Ducati insurance the other day, £310 (TPFT) with my first years no claims, considering i'm only 22 i think thats really reasonable!! So was considering telling them about my modifications.
Does everyone declare their modifications on their insurance? If so, how much am i looking at for my high mounts? Also got open airbox and DP air filter. |

Some insurance companies will not cover anything other than a standard bike. There is a real risk that they will not pay out if you have not declared modifications which may be OK if it's just your bike involved, but if it's another vehicle or worse a person, you could be in deep do-do! |

I declare my DP exhausts, with ebikeinsurance... not sure how much difference it makes, but didn't want give an excuse to the insurance company not to pay out.
In the past I decalred them with Norwich Union and they just added £50; my insurance was £1300 at the time so was pretty reasonable. Currently paying £384 Fully comp with 2YNC in London with ebike includes mods. Darry. |

worth mentioning made no difference to my policy
they are essentially looking for nortos and turbo type modification's as in everyone puts stickers on and an aftermarket can etc well i say that insurance is a funny game mention 'you were thinking about it' and see what they say |

I declared my Termi's to Ducati insurance. Don't think the premium went up but they did say they wouldn't cover the Termi's, possibly because I'm fully comp.

I've been looking at insurance quote for the monster with my VFR, and today rang Ducati insurance. They didn't even have the M695 on their list so I'm waiting for them to ring me back with a quote. |

hi sqwifeve, I've had my 695 insured through Ducati Insurance since last year, they had it listed and quoted straight off. Might be worth you calling them again, may just be who you spoke to. Incidentally, as per the thread I have listed all mods incl. termis and no policy cost change.

Rang and they said they'd phone back with a quote. They didn't and now I've gone with my current insurer Carole Nash who undercut the best quote I'd had. So tough luck for Ducati insurance.

My own opinion is that it is best to declare it,
Last time I added cans as a modification with Ducati Insurance it was gonna cost about £50. |

Yep, definitely declare everything. It's surprising how little effect it can have. As many have said they often don't load teh premium at all. I declared my high level Sil megaphones, Dynojet kit and K&N air filter and I think they loaded my policy by only £25.
Better safe than sorry. |

Carole Nash said as long as they were legal they did not care- and what is an illegal exhaust these days?
