Good luck
I would not touch MCE with a barge pole. Search here (and any UK motorcycle forum) about their antics

I've had no issues declaring mods with Swintons (not the best neither) but with the insurance, only declare items that will give a performance gain over stock (IIRC 5% above the manufacturers stated BHP). Most insurers will only take note of Supension changes (if their significant) exhausts and custom bodywork.
Braided hoses are a replacement part (its common practice to' as OEM hoses cost silly money) and don't affect the performance*.

Cowls would normally be a noted addition (if they even list it!)


*To be really anal about it they're a safety improvement technically as the brakes act with less force needing to be applied
