Nevertheless, when you include customization on your bike, you can expect to pay additional premiums in Asheville, NC&nbsp;because of the overall risk that can occur due to your other insured items. Asheville Insurance Center can help you create a motorcycle policy to meet your needs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Customizations Not Part of Basic Policies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t indicate the number and type of customization your bike has, you may only receive the stock value of your model if you are in a crash. If you don&#8217;t let your carrier know you have customizations, you risk canceling your policy.<\/p>\n<p>For smaller motorcycles with minimal customization, all you need is a standard policy with add-on coverage listing the custom parts and equipment. The value of the modifications will determine the amount of add-on coverage needed over your bike&#8217;s base value. You can find that value in the Kelley Blue Book or by using the National Automobile Dealers Association appraisal guide.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Extensive Customizations and Specialty Bikes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>High-end motorcycle owners&nbsp;generally need an agreed-upon value policy to get adequate protection for their ride. Classic motorcycles fall into this category along with other machines like composite or homemade motorcycles that don&#8217;t have an agreed-upon value. If you have a cycle with a performance upgrade involving the engine, you may need racing or motorsports insurance, as most other motorcycle carriers&nbsp;deem these vehicles too risky to insure.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have adequate protection when riding your motorcycle in Asheville, NC, and its environs?&nbsp;We understand the unique needs of motorcycle owners with customizations. Contact the agents at Asheville Insurance Center to discuss your bike&#8217;s customization and get set up with a policy that will protect your investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you decide to customize your motorcycle, you probably don&#8217;t think much about how these actions will affect your insurance.
