Modifications can make a bike more comfortable, faster or better looking. Plan them carefully.

Tell your insurer

Most modifications should be declared to your insurer. Not doing so can affect a claim.

Stay MOT-ready

Lights, indicators, number plates, mirrors and exhaust noise all have rules. Some parts are sold for track or off-road use only.

Choose quality parts

Cheap parts can fail or fit poorly. Good parts fitted properly last longer.

Fuelling and set-up

Exhaust and intake changes may need fuelling adjustments to run well.
