  • Anyone painted their bike a new colour and done the paperwork with the dvla etc?

    Tell your insurer too?

    DVLA bit seems pretty easy but my insurer just charged me £50 to change the bike on my policy, how much they gonna charge me to change the colour?!

    Doing it would probably be a winter project and my insurance renewal is Feb I think so perhaps I can just do the dvla bit like the week before changing insurer?

  • DVLA form is as simple as sending off the logbook with a change of colour, I'm not sure you need to tell your insurer though. I had a look at my policy and it doesn't actually mention the colour of the bike anywhere. I'd expect you wouldn't be able to claim on the insurance for a fancy paint job if you didn't tell them but if you're just respraying it I can't see a problem.
