It is perfectly possible to get a motorbike insurance policy to cover your custom-built Harley. But because the makeup of the bike does not conform to any of the standards of commercial motorbike manufacturers, the policy will have to be formulated based on the specs of the motorcycle itself. This will involve more time. If you want to considerably shorten the wait for insurance for a customized Harley Davidson, it is advised you coordinate closely with his insurance facilitator.

Because the parts making up the custom-built motorbike may be uncommon and expensive, the difficulties of finding replacement for damaged parts and of replacing the entire bike have to be carefully studied and the findings made to reflect on the Harley insurance’s policy. For instance, if a part is not available commercially and will have to be made to specification, the value of the insurance premiums will increase accordingly.

The total displacement of the cylinders of the engine itself goes towards determining its performance and therefore, also, its cost. Eventually this affects the premiums of Harley insurance too. The age of the driver and his driving record also need to be considered. The insurance company will always assume younger drivers to be more of a risk than mature drivers. Therefore the motorbike insurance premium for individuals under the age of 25 tends to be higher. Additionally, a poor track record reflecting many instances of self-caused accidents and traffic violations may increment Harley insurance premiums further.

Other options to consider: Having taken care of the specialized details of the custom Harley and the biker, the insured needs to select what sort of policy he wants. A comprehensive motorbike insurance policy covers both the policy owner and any third party persons that he may involve in an accident. The persons, the companions and the motorcycle (where that applies) of both the policy owner and the third party are considered. A third party motorbike insurance policy only answers for claims that the third party may pursue. These claims include the person, the companions and the vehicle of the third party. A third party + fire + theft motorbike insurance policy provides protection for both the policy holder and the third party. The policy owner’s vehicle is covered in case of theft and damage due to natural calamities such as fires, earthquakes, lightning and such like. This third type also covers vandalism by persons or animals as well as damage incurred by collision with an animal. Note: Carelessness is not covered. In all these types of policy, the insurance company is only liable as far as the mishap was not the fault of the policy holder. All expenses not valid in that context will have to be dished out by the Harley insurance policy holder himself.
