What's the difference between a modified bike and a customised bike?

It's all down to individual interpretation but generally speaking, a modified bike is usually a standard, OEM bike that's had some alterations made to it, either to change its looks or performance or both. A custom bike, again generally speaking, tends to be a bike that's been built from scratch and is a genuine one-off machine.

Whatever the extent of the modifications you have made to your motorbike, you will need to know where to find competitive quotes for modified bike insurance.

"Even a few minor modifications to the engine meant that my normal insurance company wouldn't touch me. Finding cheap modified bike insurance proved to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated."

What type of motorbike modifications can be insured?

Custom bikes come in all shapes and sizes, whether it's a bike that's been built from the forks up or if you have a 'stock' motorbike that has had some minor modifications made to it. Just adding some aftermarket accessories could, in theory, make your insurance company consider it to be a modified bike. If in doubt, it's always best to check.'

Making even minor modifications to your bike means that you need to inform your insurance company that you are riding a modified bike. If they choose to accept the modifications and continue with your bike insurance cover, you are fine; if however they choose to cancel your policy, you will need to fid another insurance company that offers quotes for custom motorbike insurance.
