Gorgeous looking bike, was really looking forward to seeing this at Fugly's b.b.q when you said you might have been attending, a shame you couldn't make it. Certainly looks like a labour of love, and a deep pocket, to achieve that look and the high attention to detail. Congrats on a very nice looking and well sorted steed. Rick, so is having that carbon fibre seat tucked away your equivalent to a porn stash.

Out of interest, did you add the motor change as a mod on your insurance and did it make any difference to the price of the policy? ------------- People say I don't know Jack Sh1t; but I do, he lives next door. |

| I want to know as well. My insurance company I think has policy of no engine mods resulting in more than 10% gain. |

How do they quantify a percentage gain? ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

How would they know? I can understand with the usual add ons but what insurance company is going to take an engine apart. ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

Service rebore Sir That's a B/B coveredRace can? All companies expect a race can on these bikes by now and they'll express surprise if you tell them you're running an original Power Commander? Just a means of adjusting the emissions Sir These bikes are a very long way from being cutting edge,in fact getting on for qualifying as Classics and cheap insurance ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Yes, I very much doubt any assessor would take an engine apart, but the engine will have a different serial number to that on the V5; surely one thing that might be checked.
It's a fact that some insurance companies will go to lengths to avoid a payout. ------------- People say I don't know Jack Sh1t; but I do, he lives next door. |

That's a very good point Steve, I suppose you can only really get away with it if its your own motor. Years ago when I was 16 my dad and I bought an MBX80 and told the DVLA that we had put the 50cc engine from a friend's written off MBX50 into my 80 frame. When the V5 came back it they hadn't changed the engine number to the 50cc lump so I had a fully legal nutter bike at 16. Got caught speeding on it and had to go to court but never got found out, so we big bored it to 93cc ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

So you change an engine,used to happen all the time,you just notify a number change,no penalty,no problem,just a paperwork like for like swap ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

| I think how far insurers go is largely down to the claim, eg if someone is killed or seriously injured then I would think they'd look for anything to limit their liability, on the overhand a minor bump they don't seem to bothered, when ran over my mates gixer last year they didn't even check it was mot'd which it wasn't !!! |
