Essentials For Installing A V Rod Body Kit

By Anthony Stevens


There are many reasons why one would want to change the body of their motorcycle including dents, scratches, or even wanting a different frame from the standard one that it came in. In such cases, one would have to purchase and install a new v Rod Body Kit especially if the changes they want are on the entire frame. Sometimes one does not need the whole frame but because they are not able to find a particular part then they have no choice but to change it entirely.

Apart from how a bike handles and its performance, bikers are also very particular on how the bike actually looks. Any scratches or dents will have a biker up in arms and rushing to their mechanics to have them fixed. Unfortunately, it is not always that you will find the exact part in the same color or form that will match the bike.

For some people, as long as the parts function properly that is all that matters. However, that is not the case with the majority of the bikers who are very much into the aesthetics of their bikes. They like it when their bikes are alluring and if they cannot find a part that matches the rest of the bike, then they will replace the entire frame.

Apart from dent car scratches and damages from accidents or falling, there are other reasons why a biker would want to install a new body on their bike. The most common one is that they do not like the standard form that the bike came in. Since they could not find the exact type of frame that appeals to them, bike owners opt to find a kit that is appealing to them to replace the original one.

As much as it is easy to purchase whatever kind of frame one would want for the bike, it is not that straight forward when it comes to warranty and insurance. It is best to wait out the warranty period before installing a new body kit. Installing it before the warranty expires result in the cancellation of the warranty meaning that should anything happen before the expiration, you will have to bear the burden of the cost.

Some people normally opt not to inform or consult with their insurance companies when they make modifications to their motorcycles. This is because they do not want to be told what they can and cannot do to spruce up how the machine looks and work. They may get away with it for a certain time but the challenge will come when they need to claim from their insurance company.

If the insurance company is okay with the body kit you want to install, you will then have to check with your local state to find out if it is acceptable. There are some states that are very particular when it comes to modifications made on bikes. You need to make sure that the modification is per the regulations of the State and get the required approval.

If the insurance company does not agree with the type of kit you want, it is better to find one that they will approve. Going against their wishes will put you in a tricky spot when claiming as they are likely to decline due to the changes. It is therefore important to consult with your insurance company before installing any frame onto your bike to ensure that whatever changes you make are covered.
