Pimp my ride....

[KnightRider]

Bought some HID lights. Went for the 4300k as they are very bright although not quite as white as yours. Bought them from here and am having them shipped to a mate in New York. My gf is visiting NY in 2 weeks so she will have the pleasure of picking them up and doing all of my christmas shopping .

Looks pretty good ......with slim ballasts too.

Look what the girlfriend bought home with her:



Question is - guess I need to tell my insurance company that I have a non-legal exhaust on the bike. Views?

Sweet. Tell them.

Disclose it. It's a material fact. If they get shirty, ring round and find another insurer that doesn't give a monkeys - I vaguely recall Highway being one who didn't care, years ago.

I saw you spying the can I have now in my possession. I would have been more than happy to have let you have it. Still. Very nice indeed.

As Ogden said. Insurance companies really dont care much about exhausts.

Until I used Carole Nash and ebike I could not have any non-standard mods (according to the insurers I used). Check your T&C's, a lot of them will not allow any mods at all (Bennetts were one I had issues with). It never stopped me buying mods they just were never disclosed. I also had no issues claiming even with the mods as they ended up being cheaper to replace (end can being a prime example).

There are two reasons an insurance company might get stroppy about an undisclosed exhaust:

- attractiveness to thieves (regardless of cash value)
- change in engine performance

In either case, if the presence of an undisclosed modification could be related to a claim, it gives the insurer scope to wriggle out. In reality they may well not do - I had a set of ZX6R four-pot calipers on my 7R rather than the OE six-pots, but no issue was made of it - but generally I'd disclose any mods unless you have a good reason not to.

I love that!
Do they do one for the curvy?

Tripage in the US will make pretty much anything you want. I'm sure if you bunged him some cash he would do it for your curvy.
