Insurance for a 'CAT C' Bike

Do insurance companies care about this? If so do they load the
premium or expect any specific paperwork?

 

Daz says...

They never questioned or loaded me when I insured my Gixer, which was on
HPI as a Cat D when I bought it off Hog. They just treated it like every
other bike I've insured.

Basically the Insurer /may/ require an Engineer's report to confirm the
repairs are of satisfactory quality.

I rebuilt a cat D BMW but at that point didn't know i it was cat C or
D. Most inswearances didn't want to know if it was a cat C, nobody had
a problem with a cat D.

 

When I insured my Tuono, which I was told by the dealer had been a cat
'C' earlier in its life, I had to change insurers. This was /not/
because it was a cat 'C', but because it was an Aprilia.

My insurance has gone up a bit, but that's largely due to me now
having three road bikes, two of which are litre sports bikes, and
possibly the move to NU didn't help.
