engineers report

I was asked for an engineers report by my insurance company when I did my GSXR front end swap...so it doesn't have to be standard.

Your bike doesn't have to be standard, but it must comply with the law. You can have undertrays, Renthals or whatever you like, as long as the bike is straight and safe and legal.

I'd like to see who demanded an Engineers Report, it's not something I've ever heard of a bike needing before.

mine was cat c and the only engineers report involved was the one from my insurance company to work out how much to claim from the wingnut, then to put it back on the road it was put on parts and mot job done

my bike was written off as class C in November, I got it back in December.....bought some bits and pieces, got a new MOT and im back on the road, insurance didnt even stop....with cars you need an engineers report to put it back on the road....not so with bikes.....

well my insurance companye says i have to have a engineers report then if it passes that then a MOT. then i am back on the road. and my bike is a class C write off.

so a engineers report is to check for bends in the fram ect. becuase i fort then had a good look around the bike and checked ever thing, like a over the top MOT ??
